Swim teams open season

Trigg County opened their 2006 swim season with a seventh place finish at the Hopkinsville Invitational Saturday.

Junior John Reinick took fourth place in the 500-meter freestyle and fifth place in the 100-yard breast stroke to account for all of Trigg's points.

Trigg's girls also competed but did not finish in the top ten, according to head coach Jan Woodall.

"It was a good meet for us because we established our base times for the season.  Because the (Lake Barkley) Lodge pool is not competition length, we have to go to other pools for times.  We now have a good idea of where we are and what we have to do to improve individual times," she said. 

Trigg County has a tentative meet scheduled at Hopkinsville on Nov. 28.
