RRHS Swim team

The Roanoke Rapids Yellow Jackets had another strong 
showing on Thursday at Aycock Pool in Henderson. The 
Jackets were part of 5 teams competing, swimming 
against Northern Vance, Southern Vance, Franklinton 
and Louisburg.  

The boys swam well, despite being shorthanded due to 
injuries swam to a second place finish, losing by only 6 
points.  Northern Vance won on the boys side by a score 
of 122-116.  

The boys were lead by strong swims from Shaun Fromal 
(100 Breast winner), James Evans(100 Free winner), 
Nick Denny(50 Free winner), Luke Robertson who 
together recorded an automatic qualification time for 
Regionals in the 400 Free Relay.  Evans, Denny, and 
Fromal were also individual winners.  Ryan Harrison
(500 Free), Alex Leard (100 Breast), Colby Allen (50 Free) 
and Lonnie Harrison(100 Free) also had personal bests 
in their respective events.  

The Girls Team had an incredible meet, winning by a 
score of 148-89 over the squad from Northern Vance.  
They were lead to victory by the individual efforts of 
Addie Nixon(100 Breast and 200 IM), Rachel Price(50 
Free), Amy Fromal (100 Breast), Katherine King (100 
Back), Chelsea Brown(500 Freestyle) who dominated 
the competition.  The Jackets were helped by yet another 
personal best from Emma Barber (200 and 500 freestyle), 
as well as Karalee Miller (500 Free), Lindsay Holt (100 
Freestyle), and Megan Colston (200 IM).  However, the 
highlight of the meet surely was Kristy Price, who in 
addition to winning the 100 Fly by a 4 second margin, 
took down a 10 year old school record.  Price is only a 
sophomore and stated that she looks to lower that 
record again within this season, and again at conference 
and regional championship meets.

Aquatic Center, with their first home meet.  Come out
