Sportsmanship Goes A Long Way

Friday evening the Bobcats fell to the Cardinals. The athletes swam very well considering where we are in our training.

The real story is how the team came together to support WJU during this challenging time. When the Cardinals arrived to Wesleyan they were greeted with open arms. As they walked onto the pool declared they opened their eyes to see a banner saying "we love wheeling". On the banner each student-athlete and coach from the Bobcat swim team left an encouraging/inspirational message. This was a true display of fine sportsmanship. Once the meet concluded the teams shook hands and the senior class gave the Cardinals a sweet treat (cupcakes!)

I have never been so proud of this team. It brought tears to the eyes of parents, fans, athletes and coaches. A speechless moment in time!

Saturday we will travel to Davis&Elkins for competition at 2pm.

Way to go Bobcats! Actions speak louder then words.
