The ‘S’ Invitational boasted the most combined swimmers at the event from Seymour in the annual meet’s history on Saturday.

For the 2016-17 season, the Owls’ swim program yields 33 girls — the most ever under coach Dave Boggs — and 20 boys.

While plenty of new faces took to the pool, it was the same result in the end — domination by the Owls.

Both the girls and boys went undefeated on the morning, each finishing 6-0,  while taking first place finishes in a majority of the events.

“We looked for a few surprises and gave some of the newer kids chances to step-up in events like the relays,” Boggs said. “We’ve been training really hard. We have another tough meet next week (Saturday) with Jennings County. Then we have three weeks of heavy training before splitting the boys and girls up to taper lanes.”

With the wins, the Seymour boys moved to 9-1 while the girls improved to 8-2 on the season.

“We get to see some of the smaller teams in our sectional and they like coming here, and it’s a great atmosphere,” Boggs said. “I’m really pleased with what we got out of our athletes today.”

Boggs said he’s pleased with the progression of the team as a whole.

“I like where we are,” he said. “I think conditioning wise we’re doing pretty good. This team is so young and new, we’re going to incorporate some skills in our sets that we need to work on.”
