Page 85 - BISHOP O'DOWD YB SAMPLE

Swimming proves to be one of the most

exciting sports at O’Dowd. Gathering a large

number of participants, the Bishop O’Dowd

swim team competes against rival teams

across the Bay Area during their season. Stu­

dents involved in the swim program use their

athletic skills to beat out the competition, and

showcase their dedication and talent. There is

a lot of practice and hard work involved that

proves to be essential to the O’Dowd swim

team’s success.

Senior Caitlin Mcquaid has been on

the Bishop O’Dowd Varsity Swim­

HTK * •
ming team for all four years of high

school. She has been swimming since

she was two years old, and claims that ■•sate

it’s a sport one can participate in his

5 sL
or her whole life. Once she was on

the Bishop O’Dowd team, she made • J a — ‘

a conscious effort to better both her

team and her own skills. She states,

“As a team we all support each other,

help each other, and cheer for each

other for all our races. We’ve done

really well this year, and have good re-j

cords at NCS.” Congratulation Caitlin!
