“The bottom line is that we need more swimmers,” said Stansbury coach Dan Peterson “Although we are 5-3 with the girls and only 1-6-1 with the boys, I believe that we are getting better each meet.The girls only have one senior and she is also a first-year swimmer. The boys also only have one senior. Most of our swimmers have just started or are in their second year.”
