“Senior night was good for me because I ended with some solid times and it was nice having my family and friends all around me,” said Johnson.

Seniors Ali Pffaf and Maxwell Pearson both won the 50 yard free. Junior Will Gibbs won the 100 yard fly and 200 free placing first. Gibbs gave his thoughts on the meet.

“We felt well prepared with it being senior night and also having friends and family gathered around and we just did our thing, we also really focused and nailed our relays,” said Gibbs.
