Oskaloosa High has a new girls’ swimming coach this season.  Makenzie Kauffman says she has 18 girls out for the team this year and she’s excited to see how the season unfolds.

“I think we’re going to see a lot of success in both individual and relay events. I think we’re going to have a very strong medley relay as well as a strong freestyle relay.  We’ve got some standout breaststrokers and backstrokers coming up.  We’ll just see how that all unfolds.  I’m excited to see how they go compete.”

The Indians first meet will be a triangular meet with Ottumwa and Fairfield in Ottumwa on August 29.  Oskaloosa’s only home girls swim meet of the season will be October 10.
