Going into their second dual meet of the season, Seymour wasn’t quite sure what they were going to face with Hoosier Hills Conference foe Jeffersonville coming to town.

For the boys team, most of the races came right down to the wire.

By the final tally, the Owls edged the Red Devils 94-86.

“The boys swam pretty well tonight,” Owls coach Dave Boggs said. “We didn’t know what Jeff had, but we wanted to go at them. Any coach in our school will tell you — when you beat a conference school, it’s a good thing.

Boggs said that both the boys and girls teams swam tired on the evening.

“We’re going to keep working hard,” he said. “We’re getting ready for the next phase of training. We’re going to try and improve our skills and details.”

“I think the girls swam a little more tired the boys. I was pleased with the effort overall tonight. I like where we’re at right now.”
