Woodberry tops FUMA Swimmers 101-77

Submitted by admin on Tue, 12/13/2005 - 10:49am

On December 9, in this year's first away swim meet, FUMA battled Woodberry Forest School furiously, but came up short to the Tigers, a team that was second in the state last year. In the past WFS would schedule FUMA as their first meet in order to tune-up for "bigger" competitions. Thus the quality and size of this year's team came as a surprise to the Woodberry swimmers and coaches. This is even more remarkable considering that FUMA took only a little over half of its squad to the meet. Judging by the score of this meet, FUMA has become a force to be reckoned with.
