From Fremont Swimming/Diving Head Coach David Struble
Fremont Tigers love hosting the HAC meet each year, we look forward to swimming fast in our own pool to kick start our Championship season. The Girls and Boys team did very well for having such small teams, we really scored a lot of points on both sides to place us in the top half of the very competitive HAC Conference. So many impressive swims on both sides, school records broken, personal best times, State qualifying times!
GIRLS = Ranked 4th overall as a team edging out Grand Island by a few points.
BOYS = Tied for 5th with Grand Island.
