The Loggers and the Clansmen battled for control of the first place position throughout the last day of the meet. Going into the last race of the Championship, the 400-yard freestyle relay, the Logger women led the team scoring by only eight points, however, even though the UPS relay team took second place in the relay, they still gained enough points to win the championship title. The only UPS female to earn individual national titles was freshman Kristin Veal. Veal was enthusiastic about the team victory and her personal achievements. We were ecstatic about the win.
Veal looks forward to next year's season as a sophomore.
Backstroke swimmer Katie Holmes enjoyed competing at the national competition and is also looking forward to competing next year. Angela Butler, a four-year swimmer for the Loggers, placed very well in three events. Butler is one of five seniors on the women's team that will be graduating this year, leaving thirteen women that could return next year to the team. With six graduating seniors, the men's team will also take a loss in numbers next year. Coach Chris Myhre is very satisfied with the team's overall successes this year and is sorry to be losing the seniors.
