Redwing Swimmers Start Season at East Lansing Invite
Share
The Redwing Swim and Dive team started their season later than they hoped but at a familiar event. Each season the Waverly Relays kick off the year with an all relay event. This year it was hosted by East Lansing.
The Redwings have a very small but talented team this year, lead by new Head Coaches Peter Sperry and Katelyn Childers. We look forward to the rest of the season.
