Starting small isn’t always a bad thing.

The Liberty High School girls swim team began competing with only six girls three years ago. Now they have 16 and have accomplished more than they ever expected.

“We thought we did good, but we didn’t expect that high of a score,” said Bennett Outman, a sophomore on the girls swim team.

The team had a winning record of 9 wins and 3 losses. The girls also scored 467 team points, which outdistanced Fort Zumwalt South’s score of 396 at the GAC North-Central championship.

“Everyone jumped up and screamed when we heard we won,” said freshman Marjori Russo. “We had a group hug around our coach, Tracey Webb, and gave her a bouquet of flowers.”

The girls swim team has definitely showed their Eagle spirit by bringing home first.

“We’re pretty excited because this is amazing,” said Coach Webb. “The championship win was a team effort and I have the best team of girls.”

And we still have a whole other class coming in next year!
