The RHS Swimming Panthers traveled to Owensboro on Friday, Feb, 13 to compete in the Region 1 Swimming & Diving Championships. Representing Russellville High School at the regional meet were senior Eduardo Rodriguez, junior Kate Bouldin, freshmen Cole Celsor and Fernanda Rodriguez, and 8th grader Ben Slack.
All swimmers put up solid times with Slack swimming in the 100 fly and 200 IM. Both Rodriguez swimmers swam in the 50 and 100 free events. Bouldin’s events included the 200 free and 100 fly – earning a personal best in the 200 free. Celsor’s events were the 50 and 100 free and he earned a personal best in both of those events!
Coach Toni Hall is very proud of her swimmers and their accomplishments this season. She is already looking forward to next swim season.
