It's another swim season in the books. Sectionals was last weekend. Districts is this weekend. And then States. Great times have been achieved by all on the CFHS Black Tiger team and it was truly amazing to watch everyone reach their goals as a team.

Sectionals is the big meet at the end of the year that everyone prepares for. It is the beginning of the state tournament that will decide who advances and who does not. This is what swimmers taper for. This is what we eat healthy for. This is what we lift for and wake up at 4 AM for and everything else.

The Black Tiger Swim and Dive Team is a family, not a team. We showed up as a family and most certainly performed as one. As a team, we have cheered each other on meet after meet. Because of our difficult conference, it has been hard to win dual meets.

But we have not let that brings us down. We are the most spirited team that you will meet. We cheer each other on through every race, through every meet, and through everything that we go through. We tell each other that if we don't lose our voices after dual meets, then we must be doing something wrong.

Nothing of this has changed as we enter into Sectionals weekend. We are depending on each other tremendously during this period and it really helped.

At Sectionals, the CFHS Black Tigers had a 95% success rate, leaving only about 2 or 3 races that either gained time or stayed right at their personal best. We even had a school record broken by a JUNIOR in the Girl's 100 Yard Backstroke! We can't WAIT to see what she does next year.

The rest of the team is just as great as that record-breaker. We have an amazing team that is advancing onto Districts and the team that will be returning next year is working just as hard to fill in the spots of the leaving seniors and stepping up to be another excellent team.

We have started a new legacy at Cuyahoga Falls and it is only going to get better from here on out.
