NVHS 2009 boys team third in Nation

 

Congratulations to NVHS boys swim team of last year on finishing 3rd place in the nation!  Swimming World Magazine (September Issue) just published the yearly edition that ranks the high school teams.  They take every time across the country and then calculate the scores by using the top 16 fastest times in each event.  To place high in the nation, you need to have outstanding relays and an outstanding individual.  We finished behind Saratoga H.S. from California and Baylor School from Tennessee.  The great thing about swimming is that you can take the actual times across the nation and have accurate results and determine the best teams in the country.  Below are the athletes that scored points when they calculated the national swim meet:
 
200 Medley Relay-1:33.32 from Sectionals (Placed 10th)
 
Grant Betulius
Kevin Cordes
Mike Lehman
Kevin Overholt
 
50 Freestyle- 20.18 Leadoff at State  Prelims (Placed 8th Place)
