Coach Dean Junker couldn’t make it to the meeting because he was with the “Flying Sharks” swim team, but Lowery read from a statement saying the team went to State in six out of 11 events, including four different individuals. Both of the Freestyle Relays participants made it, and there was a total of 10 on the team. Junker stressed how hard the team was working over the summer, and he was really happy how the season ended and they all swam faster at State, and he “Was quite proud.”

Lowery said the team scored points in four out of the six events, and most of the schools that beat Atlantic’s team were Class 4-A or 5-A Schools. The State meet was held at the Marshalltown YMCA.
