“ Hopefully we can continue to put up some fast times this season. We always swim fast at conference and state but to see the year round simmers drop times comparable to end of season times is a very good sign. We also have a massive graduation class this year so the other thing I think we are hopeful for this season is for brand new state qualifiers and conferences finalists from the underclassmen.” Zoe Bartel. The Sabercats next meet is December 9, at the Louisville Rec Center.
