Seniors lead the Rams’ Dominance with a 3rd Place Team Finish at State
The 2024-2025 Girls Swimming and Diving Team had an outstanding year of elite performances in the pool, diving into the season this winter under first-year Head Coach Amy Fulton. With an elite class of seniors paving the way, the Rams fought hard through a tough dual meet schedule and a smaller squad. Newcomers were a huge boost to the program’s depth and morale, including the addition of state-qualifying junior Noemi Crall ’26 and manager-turned-athlete Emily Leyland ’25.
Where the Rams lacked in size was made up for in their strength, swimming their way to a 3rd Place finish at the Metro League Conference Meet and a 3rd Place overall finish at the Class 2 MSHSAA State Championship last month.
The Rams sent eight to the State Championships and had five swimmers qualify to compete in the state finals. Three senior captains—Grace Coppel ’25, Lindsay Naber ’25, and Nina Schuerer ’25—had major breakthroughs at this meet, breaking two team records and placing in the top five in each of their individual events (Coppel 3rd in 50 Free *team record and 5th in 100 Free, Naber 4th in 200 IM and 2nd in 100 Back, Schuerer 2nd in 200 Free *team record and 5th in 500 Free). The Freestyle Relays were also a dominant force for the Rams, as the teams of Naber, Schueuer, Coppel, Maitland Michaelson ’27, and senior captain Sophia Goodwin ’25 secured 2nd place podium finishes in the 200 Freestyle and 400 Freestyle events.
The following Rams earned nods from their peers and coaching staff for key roles played throughout the season. We will miss our seniors dearly and are excited for all that is to come!
