Globe High School’s new varsity swim team, the Tiger Sharks – the first varsity swim team in school history – took to the water last month in their initial swim meets. Their season started Sept. 21 with a meet at Coolidge High School, where they competed against Coolidge and Morenci. These were the results:

Girls – Morenci 67, Globe 65, Coolidge 62

Boys – Globe 92, Coolidge 89, Morenci 54

Total – Globe 157, Coolidge 151, Morenci 121

Thirteen GHS swimmers took part in the “Saturday Night Fever” qualifying meet in Chandler on Sept. 30. Head coach Barry Schwenk reported that no one qualified for state but everyone recorded a personal best in every race, with sophomore Cassidy Swensen winning his heat of the 100-yard freestyle.

The team’s next meet will also be in Coolidge, on Thursday, Oct. 5.
