Several post new personal bests and state qualifying as TFS swim excels at UGA

 
 

The TFS swim teams competed Friday in the Clarke-Oconee Invitational to close out the 2023 part of the schedule. Despite Tallulah Falls taking only 16 swimmers (8 boys, 8 girls), it was still a strong showing at UGA. 

The combined teams placed sixth out of 28 teams with more than 600 swimmers competing. New state-qualifying times were posted by Mattie Patterson in both the 100 Fly and 100 Free. Madison Dampier posted state-qualifying times in the 50 Free and 500 Free, securing a new School Record in the former. Carsyn Griffis also had state-qualifying times in the 100 Free and 100 Back.
