The McMinnville Swim Team had plenty to smile about last week as it won its first meet in Shelbyville. Pictured are, front row, from left, Lollie Guthrie, Kelly Grace Simpson and Iris Bouldin. Back row, Iva Newman, Annalee Simpson and Audrey Matheny.

It couldn't have been a better start of the season for McMinnville Swim Team last week. The talented group made a huge splash, winning both the men's and women's meets against Shelbyville. 

The girls were separated by a single point, as McMinnville Swim Team edged Shelbyville 131-130. The local boys pulled away in the pool, winning 128-102. Overall, MST was able to pull through 290-248 on the road.

Evelyn Fry highlighted the many wins for the girls by taking home the title in the girls 13-14 fly, while relay teams - like the boys 15-and-over freestyle group (Dean Cooper, Everett Watson, Noah Greer and Hunter Cooper) - excelled for both teams.
