Blackhawk head coach Jennifer Hochwalt said she was happy with how the meet went, despite missing five swimmers. Similar to the week before, she had swimmers compete in events where they did not have much experience.
The boys swimming team will face Pullman, Hanford/Richland, Feb. 1, at EWU pool in the final home meet of the regular season before districts, Feb. 7-8.
“Districts is two weeks away, so we’ll be putting in a lot of hard work and getting ready for Saturday,” Hochwalt said.
