The Bulldogs of Batesville traveled to Madison Tuesday Evening to take part in the final dual meet of the regular season, winning the women’s meet and dropping the men’s.
“We’re definitely finishing strong this season with this victory on the women’s side. We’re just over a week away from the women’s sectional prelims and are definitely showing what we’re capable of,” said Bulldogs Coach Greg McMullen.
The Lady Bulldogs swam a few off and a few on events on the night to prepare for the upcoming sectional meet. “With the entry deadline this week, the final lineup decisions needed to be made tonight. And now that we have these last swims in, it’s time to load up the roster and make our final preparations.”
McMullen continued, “For the men, they still have about 5 weeks to go before they wrap up the season, so today was more about fine-tuning some relay adjustments and using this meet as another training opportunity, as well as one that capitalizes on a highly competitive team.”
The Bulldogs would like to thank all of their families, friends, and other supporters for encouraging them from afar this season as we close out the regular season and are excited to see what comes over the new team a few weeks as the season wraps up.
