SBS Swim at State
The 2020 TAPPS State swim meet was held on Thursday, February 6, at the Walker Natatorium in San Antonio, Texas. This was an exciting year for our SBS swimmers. After losing only one teammate from last year’s men’s team and two others from last year's women’s team, SBS still qualified a total of 14 swimmers for the 2020 State meet.
According to Head Coach Mark Hahn, “This team really did an outstanding job! The women’s team finished in 14th place this year. The men’s team took third place and kept their record of finishing in the top four (or better) for the past 11 years!”
