In late July, Watauga County Swim Team (WST) sent 11 swimmers to the final meet of the summer long course season – the Western Carolina Swim Association (WCSA) Championship meet, hosted by the Swim Lenoir club in Lenoir. After a day of strong performances, the team came back up the mountain with a third-place team finish.
“I’m so proud of all of our kids,” said Head Coach Jodi Cash. “We saw some personal bests from many of our swimmers at the Championships – and two of our swimmers, Lauren Patterson and Lola Herring, won the high point award for their age group.
