Last year's State Photo Provided by Gavin Burke
Diving straight into this year’s boys swim season, the D51 Griffins are excited as the season has finally began. Students from Palisade, Grand Junction, Fruita, and Central came together as they did last year to make this wonderful boys swim team. There is around the same number of swimmers as last year, but every year different swimmers have something special to bring to the new season. The team is aiming for individual and altogether glory, hoping to make waves in District and State meets. For some, this is their last year. So they hope to make it a good year for their team and themselves.
Sophomore Gavin Burke states,¨I have been swimming since I was five, ten years now. Personally, my goals this year are to hopefully go sub 23 in the fifty freestyle. I want everyone to go to State also but I’m hoping I go to State. My season last year was phenomenal, hanging out with all the boys was one of my favorite things, and going to State, my freshman year was great. For, the team this year I’m excited to see us grow and come together, to have an amazing season overall, and I wish the best for all on the team. There’s a lot we can improve on, including myself from last year.¨
Good luck D51 Griffins we hope you have a great season! Don’t forget to show support Bulldogs, for more information see @palisadepawpost.
