Swim Team Coach Carson Glasscock was
very pleased with the level of participation from students at St. Bernard Prep
School in Cullman. Glasscock, who has
coached the team for the past four years, encouraged all students to consider
being part of the team especially if they have previously participated in
competitive swimming.
“Swimming is one sport where
students can compete individually or with a team, and it requires hard work and
dedication. We have an excellent program
in place and want to encourage as much participation as possible,” Glasscock
said.
Team members practice three days per
week from 3:45 – 5:15 pm, and must be registered with the USA Swimming and
Cullman Swim Association. “We have a bus which leaves the quad at 3:30 p.m.
after school to transport students across town to the Cullman Wellness and
Aquatic Center (CWAC) for practice,” Glasscock continued.
Members of the SBPS Swim Team pay as
much as $120 in fees which include the USA Swimming Association as well as use
of the CWAC.
Representing the girls is Sarah
Peel, who earned the Alabama State Champion title this past summer in the Age
11-12 girls breaststroke. She is joined
by Torey Badar, and returning team member, Morgan Matz.
Bennett Glasscock, who received All-
State honors in the backstroke, and Sean Moriarty will be leading the boys
division. These two AHSAA State
qualifiers are joined by returning team member John Paul Stolz, and newcomers
Nathan Giffen, Keagan Meagher, and David Schartung.
“I am excited to see the
participation, and look forward to competition.
Hopefully we will be showcasing our first relay team in the boys
division,” Glasscock said.
The St. Bernard Swim Team will
travel to Madison, Alabama on October 1, 2012 to participate in the James
Clemens Invitational. For more information on meet schedules, visit www.stbernardprep.com.
