On September 5, 2014, the New Haven High School had its annual swimming intramurals. The students used this as a way to relax and get away from their classrooms, while encouraging their classmates as they competed. Even though some students can’t swim well, they still compete for the fun of it and for the spirit points they earn for their class. When students were asked what they thought about the intramurals, they said that they enjoyed getting out of class. Senior Karissa Durbin commented, “It’s a hot day, but I will enjoy jumping in as a class.”` Senior Hannah Pruessner said, “ I will miss my friends and seeing the younger classmates in the school. When asked, freshman Michelle Bahena stated,”This is exactly what I expected, especially the competitiveness.”
When asked if he had a good first experience coaching the intramurals, Coach Pierick commented, “It went pretty good. I appreciate the timers who were willing to help, and there is nothing I like the most due to the fact it was all great. I already had an idea of what to do from watching Coach Steinhoff do it last year.” Even though Coach Pierick went from shop teacher to P.E. coach , he said, “ I enjoy being a P.E coach because I like being active and being outside with my class.”
Some of the events that occurred at the swimming intramurals included the 50 girls’ freestyle,won by freshman Lauren Gerlemann; the 50 boys’ freestyle,won by junior, Matthew Clines; the 50 girls backstroke, won by senior Hannah Pruessner; the boys 50 backstroke,won by senior Kyle Ruediger; the 4 by 50 free style girls relay, won by the seniors; and the boys relay, won by the freshman. Overall, results were as follows: first place,seniors with fifty-two points; in second place, freshman with thirty-eight points; in third place, juniors with thirty points; and in fourth place, sophomores with twenty-nine points. Even though it was a hot day to be outside, everyone had a splash by the pool. -by Jenny Alvarez
