Waynesville High School Tiger Swim competed in the COC tournament on Saturday, Jan. 25, 2025. "This year the team is largely new to swim so a lot of these girls started with zero background in the water. The last meet was a testament to their resilience and major improvement on the season! Almost everyone had large cuts in time in their individual events and the 200 Free Relay improved on their state consideration time. We have 2 more meets left to get that time down to make top 32 to attend state. So we are focused and ready to embrace that challenge", commented head coach Nicole Stone.
