Update from Freedom
The Freedom Eagles have stormed in this season making sure that the division takes note of their successes and their accomplishments. The girls team came out strong starting the season with their first win ever over Dominion HS, and continued that streak with a strong win over Broad Run HS. The boys’ team earned their first win against Briar Woods HS all the while team and individual records were broken all over the place.
Not only are records being set for the school, but also almost every swimmer has improved on at least one of their events. This achievement is most important due to the individualistic nature of swimming. However, after stating the importance of improvement on behalf of the individual, our team spirit and ability to pull together as a unit is steadfast. We already have a relay team who has made State Qualifying times, and several others who are extremely close. We have 5 swimmers just over the mark for State’s, and it’s still early in the season.
Freedom might be a young team, this being it’s 3rd season, but some of our youngest swimmers are stepping up and taking on the challenge of scoring points. Out of our top 6-point leaders, half are underclassmen, with the seniors and juniors pushing them to their full potential. The leadership of the captains this year is extremely important, as we are a young team, but with 5 seniors to help lead this team, there is no limit to the successes we can accomplish.
