SCAT places second at Southern Showdown
SCAT swimmers finished a close second in team standings during the "Southern Showdown," a tri-meet held in Americus last Saturday. "We won a lot of hard-fought races in a meet that was exciting and competitive from the beginning to the finish of the last relay," Head Coach Jamey Myers said. About 50 members of the team traveled to Americus for the one-day meet. In addition to SCAT, teams from Americus and Tallahassee, Fla., attended the event held at Georgia Southwestern State University. "SCAT swimmers set the standard for cheering and charging the atmosphere," Myers said. "We had a number of great swims that were anywhere from tough swimming to amazing." Myers gave what he called "The Big Whopper Dropper Awards" to several SCAT swimmers who posted personal best swims by taking impressive amounts of time off their races.
