CONNERSVILLE, IN – The Batesville Bulldogs traveled to Connersville for a double dual with Eastern Hancock joining the competition.
“Being the first meet of the season for a majority of our team, we weren’t entirely sure what to expect,” commented head coach Greg McMullen. “I’m really excited about where we are, and the growth opportunities in front of us.”
While the Lady Bulldogs swam at New Castle on November 18, they were down a majority of their team. It was apparent at the meet tonight, they had more depth and determination tonight, coming away with a split victory, overtaking the Royals, while dropping the contest to the host team.
The Bulldogs on the other hand, dropped both contests with Benjamin Moster leading the way in scoring for the team.
Coach McMullen recap of the meet, “Overall, we had some tremendous first-of-the-year swims for a large chunk of our team. For others, we continued to improve, seeing 12 total best times. This number can be a bit deceiving though, as a number of these swims may have just happened a week or so ago. Others, such as Lilly’s 100 Free swim have been a long time coming, and just prove that we have some great athletes on our team.”
