Fenwick swimming
The Friars host the Metro Catholic Aquatics Conference Meet this Friday and Saturday and it’s going to look similar to the State Meet.
With three of the teams in the conference – Fenwick, Rosary and Loyola – ranked in the top six in the state, the conference meet is a precursor to what’s to come.
“We have a very young team and they will really benefit from the pressure of this meet,” said Fenwick head coach Renee Miller. “Since we are hosting the meet, it will have a loud and crowded feeling like the state meet.”
Diving is to begin at 6 p.m. on Friday and swimming at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
