Seleneca High School win high scores at the 2120 Lunar Intramural Swimming Competition held here at our Olympic pool in the Southwest Ward’s Community Center. The competition wrapped up today, which brought 20 teams from around the moon, and about 400 visitors associated with the event.
Raheem Saliman placed first in the 100-meter backstroke, and the 100-meter freestyle. His comrade, Sue Magoo came in way out in front of the pack during the 200 individual medley. And the team won the 4 x 100-meter Medley Relay by a slim margin of 0.3 seconds. Trailing right behind them was the team from The Lunar Water Supply Company. Burgess Pequeune, the final relay swimmer on the Lunar Water Supply Company team said, “Many folks are surprised when they see how well our team does at swimming. That’s because we spend a lot of our days at work in water, melting and processing the harvested ice. The pool here at Seleneca feels like warm bath water to us!
Next year the competition will be held near the South Pole, at the Chinese Sector of Shackleton, where China is hoping to celebrate the grand opening of a new state-of-the-art swimming center.
