Sunset swim team #1 again!
By Elsie Garner, Sunset student
Led by coach Adam Farber, the Sunset High School men’s swim team dove into the pool with finesse this February, capturing first place at state. The swim team held long practices every day after school throughout the season, preparing to conquer with confidence. “We knew going into it that we could come away with the win,” says junior Josh Noll, “and our families and friends were there with us the whole way.”
This is the third consecutive year the men’s team has swept the competition at the state level, and the girls’ team pulled in close behind. Surrounded by the same overwhelming support, they came in second at state, with a score only seven points behind the winning team.
Winning state wasn’t purely a physical achievement, but a bonding experience as well, Josh says. “As a group, this experience has definitely helped us become better friends, and that’s what made it so much more fun to achieve.” The Sunset teams continue each year to leave a fantastic legacy for future generations of high school swimmers.
