Altoona boys race Tyrone boys in last years meet in the 500 freestyle. Altoona took a win in every event last year, defeating Tyrone.

The swim team will compete against Tyrone at home Dec. 11. The team competed in the Mt. Lion Kickoff Invitational on Dec. 2, making this meet their first dual meet of the season. 

“I feel like we can win this meet. I am excited to compete and see how the team does. It feels weird going into my senior season, but most of my focus is being ready to compete and work for a win,” senior Chris Fox said. 

The meet will be held at 4 p.m. and tickets will be sold at the door. The team will also travel to Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) on Wed. Dec. 13 for a tri-meet against Homer Center and Northern Cambria.

Hey! During my third year on staff, my senior year, I have taken on the role of being Editor in Chief for Mountain Echo. My sophomore and junior year, I served as associate editor. Outside of school I enjoy hanging out with my best friend, exercising, watching Netflix, photography and working as a lifeguard and teaching swim lessons at the YMCA. After high school I plan to pursue a medical path, with the intent of being a nurse practitioner. I'm looking forward to this school year and seeing what it brings our way!
