By David Rogers. TAYLORSVILLE, N.C. — A strong performance by Watauga High School’s swim teams produced a 4-team sweep for the women’s team and a 3-1 performance for the men in a Jan. 9 meet hosted by Alexander Central. The other teams included Wilkes Central, West Wilkes, North Wilkes, as well as Alexander Central.
“I thought we swam well considering we have missed so much practice due to bad weather and the holidays,” said Watauga head coach David Gragg. “Typically, this pool does not produce good times for our team, but this year we had quite a few fast swims.”
Looking ahead, Gragg added, “I am hopeful the weather holds out the next few weeks so that we can get our last regular season meet in, which will be Senior Night, and then get ready to host the Northwestern Conference meet the following week.”…
