For most of the swimmers being a part of the district win was very exciting. The worst meet was against Clear Creek, and the best seemed to be coming out in fifth place out of 17 teams in the La Porte meet. Talghader felt, just getting to participate and go to all the meets, was the best thing about the past year. Peggy Chonoski, freshman, said The first meet was a killer because I was so nervous. John Delk, freshman, said I met a lot of people, and I learned a lot about swimming.
