Newton swimming hoping to expand on first-half success

After a red-hot start to the season, the Newton boys swim team has yet to really let up, and doesn’t seem willing to in the second half of the season.

With just five meets remaining when the season resumes on Jan. 5, the Cardinals are hoping to expand further on a year that has featured multiple school records falling and a few big dual wins at the Newton Y.

“I really couldn’t be happier with our performance so far, our meet record and how the kids have done a nice job in practice,” Newton coach Dave Hook said. “I’m very pleased, and we hope to keep it up in the second half.”
