With the 2016 season behind them, the Bellbrook High School Swim and Dive Team has a lot to be happy about.

This year an impressive 20 school records were broken throughout the course of the season. The team also sent several swimmers to state, who also did very well.

One of the frequent record breakers is senior Holly Hulett. She attributed many of these records to “just training really hard and racing the clock at every meet.” But this hard training did not result in a dull environment. Hulett says, “The swimmers got along really well this season. We all bonded really well and everyone was super cool.” Another personal success for Hullet was qualifying for the state 200 free relay which was “only the second ever girls relay to qualify for states.”
