Hopewell Swimming
HV’s Swim Team Battled against Blackhawk and Moon!
The Hopewell swim team has been busy completing two meets in the last two weeks one against Blackhawk and Moon last week.
BLACKHAWK
The team had a great effort against Blackhawk. The girls won the meet! The boys fought a tough battle with 3 out before the meet even started and another two not finishing due to illness. They still had a number of best times and a few MAC cuts were achieved.
MOON MEET
