The Mobius High Boys Swim and Dive team has one diver and one swimmer going to State this year. Junior Razor the Shark has qualified for diving and Sophomore Johnny has qualified for swimming in the State competition.
Razor made his first big break on the swim team when he beat two previous school records in diving. His scores at regionals this year were even higher than before in diving, and he will be heading to State for a second time.
"As a shark, it's only natural I'd be one of the greats," Razor said.
Johnny showed his speedy abilities by getting the fastest lap time average over all schools.
"I am the fastest thing out there! I see every lap as a race to the finish, and I love to win," said Johnny.
Not only did the team have two people qualify for State, but the Mobius Swim Team had a great season. They have defeated five other schools in regionals and have lost to only one.
Coach Captain Whisker said he expected to have such a strong winning record. "Arr, that Razor sure has made this team to the top! It's great to have a young lad with his skill."
Coach Whisker added that the swim team lost a lot of members after last year's graduation. 70 percent were seniors and some previous swimmers did not return.
Senior Big the Cat was a returnee from last year. "It is a shame to see all my friends go, but I am glad we have Razor to help us win," Big said.
In other swimming news, some swimmers like to set personal records to see if they can break. "PR's are a great way to measure your ability as a swimmer," said Razor, "just shaving two or three seconds off your lap time can be weeks of hard work and determination."
Senior Chaos said he was trying to reduce his lap time by ten seconds. He anticipates a lot of work ahead of him and hopes to evolve his swimming abilities.
Razor and Johnny will both be at the State competition on March 15 hosted by our school at 5 p.m. Support your Saint Swimmers by coming to see our two qualifiers get wet.
