The first win of the swim season was special for the McMinnville Swim Team, especially first-year coaches Paige Northcutt and Clint Jordan.The team celebrated its first victory last week when the McMinnville Swim Team swam laps around Coffee County at Gilley Pool.Warren County won the meet 306 to 221, giving Northcutt and Jordan their first victories as coaches this year.Despite little practice time and having only two meets under their belts, the McMinnville Swim Team was very impressive last Tuesday. It was a standout performance in the eyes of coach Northcutt, who was an Olympic swimmer.“Clint and I are really excited about the progress the team has made in the short amount of time that they have had in the water,” said Northcutt. “We had several swimmers improve their times from our previous meet.”The McMinnville Swim Team started the day by sweeping the five mixed relays.Winning in the under-8 age group was the team of Bailey Brock, Walt Jones, Katie Toney and True Craven.
