This is the largest group that Roanoke Rapids has brought to states in several years, and their coach, Patrick Quast was beyond pleased with his teams performance.  Quast noted "It has been a mantra of this team to "go to work" every time they came to the practice.  Whether it has been the weight room, the dryland sets, or the pool, this team pushed itself to the limit every time we got together. 

"Come Saturday next week (the state meet), we look to "go to work" once again, as we build on the successes of this regional meet," said coach Quast. Also Coach Quast stated, "I would like to thank all of the parents and swimmers of this year's team, who worked so hard to make this year a success." 

The 1A/2A NCHSAA State meet will be at the Triangle Aquatic Center in Cary, NC on Saturday, February 13th, at 9 am.
