The Kennesaw Mountain Mustangs team up with Campbell High School, to take on teams from Duluth and Peachtree Ridge.
If you're wondering what this meet is about...it's about rivalry. Coach David Reason and his brother, Coach Jim Reason are twins. They're also competitive. Coach Jonathan Laird of Campbell and his brother Jeremy Laird of Peachtree Ridge, also coach teams. So with that said...this meet is held not only for the swimmers and divers, but for brother to beat brother.
The competition was fierce, and the energy was high. Each team swam well and many of the races were very close. The meet ended with the Mustang women taking third place, behind Duluth by 25 points. The Mustang men came out on top, beating Peachtree Ridge by 17 points. Overall the Kennesaw Mountain Mustangs came out on top...beating second place Duluth by 24 points.
