Regional Meet Next For THS
TIPTON — It was a bittersweet night on Monday, October 21 at the Tipton aquatic center. It was senior night and the program honored the three seniors this year - Britney Ford, Sara Webb, and Ali Anderson. All three were key to the Tigers win over Fair eld that night, and all three were the start of the wave of club swimmers that helped Tipton turn around their program in numbers and success. The culmination was reaching the 2018 state meet in two events for the rst time in many years. The four-year starters will exit the program leaving a mark on it that will be remembered for a long time. Ford, nearly unbeatable in the 100-yard breaststroke the past two seasons, Anderson a speedy sprinter, and Webb, a versatile swimmer helped the Tigers reach new heights over the past four years.
On the 21st, Tipton beat Fairfield 107 to 62 to end their regular season schedule. The Tigers will swim at the Linn-Mar Regional state qualifying meet this Saturday. The Tigers will look to send their three relay teams to state this year. All three are ranked under the top-32 requirement to qualify for state. Quali ers will be known this weekend.
