Congratulations Cowboys!! The boys finished second!! Fantastic!!! University was first again this year with 298 points, but WHS pushed them with a fantastic team effort to gain 250 points. Last year it was 288 to 180 for University. The big difference this year was that the Cowboys were Champions in the 200 and 400 free relays and finished 2nd in the 200 medley relay. All of the relay times were new fast times for this year's team and the medley relay lowered their existing WHS record in the final. The Cowboys were in the championship heat in 6 individual events, and consolation finals in six also. Zach Fischer finished second in 100 back and established a new WHS record in prelims. He placed 2nd in the finals also. Cameron Merten finished 5th in 1 meter diving with a new WHS record score of 328.40. Great job guys. We are all proud of you. A summary follows.
