The Coffee County Middle School Swim Team had 4 of their members take part in a middle school only meet on Friday at LaVergne High School and each one had a tremendous showing on the evening. Competing in their first meet that was exclusively middleschool racers, the Red Raiders exceeded all expectations against 6 Rutherford County middle school programs. Coach Lana Ray was overflowing with praise for her young squad saying: “They swam so well(on Friday) and each one of them has improved all season long.” The team has swam this season in meets with the high school team, but this was their time to shine on their own stage. “That was a big part of their energy swimming against their peers. It was a lot of fun for them” added Ray.
