The Cougar boys’ swim team’s senior night took place Jan. 26 at the Shawnee Mission Aquatic Center. The team faced Piper High School, SM East and St. James Academy.
At the meet, junior Will Ensley won first place in the 100 yard breaststroke and senior Wil Rodriguez won first in butterfly. The entire team won second place in the 100 yard medley relay.
To succeed in future meets, Ensley believes he and his team just need to pay attention to every part of the sport, even the small bits.
“I think we need to make sure we hit all the details and practice every day,” Ensley said. “You got to do everything right, every detail. That way when we get to a meet, everything goes right. Every little detail is perfect.”
This week, the Cougar swim team competes at the Sunflower League Meet Feb. 2 against 13 other schools at the SM Aquatic Center and continues competing for the next two days.
