“The team did great,” said Tell City Coach Angie Spinner of the two meets. “We are gearing up for PAC and I must say the team is very positive. Several people on the team told me they would swim whatever I need them to, in order to help out the team. They have such good attitudes and they are all trying very hard to improve their strokes.”

Tell City, 4-7 in dual meets, will compete in the PAC meet at Tecumseh this week. Swimming trials start tonight, with diving trials at 9:15 a.m. Saturday and finals in all events at 11:30 a.m. Saturday.
