“Last year we did really well at state,” Greinke said. ”We hope to do that this year.”

“[Our practices] are like two hours long,“ Greinke said. “We practice seven time a week and twice before school”

“We did really well,“ Greinke said. “I think our girls got fourth and our guys got second [in city].”
With the team putting in all this effort, Greinke mentions how the hopes for this season are high.
“We hope we can have a large group make it to state,” Greinke said. “We have done very good this year [so far].”
Like many sports, making it to state requires skill and determination.
“You have to go to practice a lot to get good,” Greinke said. “It’s a big commitment to be good at swimming.”
