PCST Swimmers Help Mosely & Arnold to District Titles!

Mosely Girls and Boys Both Win Class 2A, District 1 Team Championships!
It was a very exciting day for our Tsunami swimmers as many of them came together with some terrific swims from their high school teammates to pull away with a team District Title!  Mosely defeated Ft. Walton Beach on both the boy’s and girl’s championship.  The day was highlighted by swims from district champions, loads of PCST swimmers with new personal best times as well as some of the fastest swims in PCST history!  And we’ve still got Regionals and States to go!  Next up for Mosely is their Regional Championships in Tallahassee this Thursday, November 5th.

Arnold High School Girls Win Class 1A, District 1 Championship While Boys Finish as Runner Up!
I had the pleasure of being there for both prelims and finals of this fantastic PCST showing.  Arnold led the way with a District Tile on the girl’s side ahead of Florida High (from Tallahassee), as well as a close runner-up finish behind Rickards on the boy’s side.  Tsunamis from all three Bay County teams (Arnold, Bay, Rutherford), shined in their performances as they strived to make the regional championship team.  Well.......mission accomplished!  PCST swimmers from all three teams will be represented this week at the Regional Championships in Tallahassee on Friday, November 6th!
