Cross Country 3rd in State

The SSC Cross Country team finished Third at the State Cross Country Meet in Jackson this past weekedn. The District 8-AAAA Champions were led by Bingam Wikoff who finished 8th at the State Meet. By placing eighth, Bingham qualified for the All-State team for AAAA. This is the best finish at the State Meet meet since Hurricane Katrina.

Swimmers Place 7th in State

After narrowly missing victory at the South State Championship the previous week, the SSC Aqua Rocks looked to put the finishing touches on one of their best seasons ever. The team continued to improve on a number of fronts, finishing 7th overall out of 43 teams at the State meet, up from 9th last year (and 1st among 4A schools). 

The SSC swimmers also shattered their own 400 Freestyle Relay record by 4 seconds (3:40.4) and senior Jordan Gargiulo finally brought down the 13 year old 100 backstroke record in a time of 1:02.37 in his last event as an Aqua Rock. Points were scored by 5th place 200 Freestyle Relay team Andrew Gargiulo, Matt Miller, Jordan Gargiulo, and Brent Murphy; Andrew Gargiulo took 6th place in the 100 butterfly in a blazing 59.31; Thomas Allard had another personal best in the 200 Freestyle to place in the top 16. 

Despite its relatively small roster, the SSC swim team showed great heart and determination in a banner season, marked by personal bests, an undefeated dual meet record, and several broken school records. 

Congratulations Aqua Rocks on a fantastic season!
