Recently, Newman hosted the South Louisiana District Championship Swim Meet. This meet was not only the district championship, but it was also the senior meet. The Newman swimmers arrived on campus around 8:45 am and began warm ups at nine. The girl’s medley relay got first place and half of the swimmers placed within the top three, in one of their individual events. Additionally, many swimmers achieved additional state qualifications. Overall, the girls ended the meet in third place and the guys in fifth. Near the middle of the meet, there was a presentation congratulating the seniors from all schools who were present at the meet. During the presentation, the coach for each school announced their seniors and gave them a gift. The Newman team had its three seniors recognized: Drew Sonnier, Nick Rezza, and Elias Hutchings. After the meet, the team helped put the pool back together and then ate pizza and cake provided by the parents. Overall, it was a great day for Newman Swimming!
