Coach Jesse Nitz has welcomed a roster 20 swimmers and divers – some with experience and some newcomers – for the winter season.
Leading the way is Ben Hauswirth, a force both in swimming events and on the board. During this season’s first meet he shattered the EHS dive record. A year ago he placed fourth at state in diving and also was a member of the school’s state-qualifying 500 freestyle relay team.
Also making a strong early-season showing during the victory over Auburn Riverside were sophomore Luke Perlot, who won both the 200 and 500 freestyle races; sophomore Ben Jazbutis, who won the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly; sophomore Jacob Hauswirth, who won the 100 backstroke; and freshman Tanner Harms, who won the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke.
Also on the roster are seniors Brent Peters, James Roddy and Justin Evans; juniors Austin Williams and Ethan Blanco; sophomores Elijah Escobar, Kellen Murray, Kelton Shearer, Kody Moore, Logan McNabb, Michael Arensdorf, Nolan Clark and Solomon Breece; and freshmen Jordan Simon and Josh Hughes-Kuruganti.
Ben Hauswirth and Roddy have been chosen as team captains. Simon and Evans attend White River High but, because their school does not include a swim program, turn out with EHS.
