Will Lafayette swimmers be State ready? 

As of late the swim team as well as the rest of the swim teams in The State of Mississippi underwent an MHSAA reclassification, and are now a class I team. What does that mean for the team? Many more students who previously could not qualify for the North Half swim meet with their PR times now exceed the standard to qualify.    

As quoted by the head swim coach Josh Daniel “I am confident that we will have quite a few more athletes compete at North Half Championship than we did last season. As well as competing at the State Championship Swim Meet for the first time since the early 2000s…”

The first meet this season will be the OHS Invitational on September 12 at the OPC City Pool

Expect to see more action from the swimmers this year and so on from there.
