The Socorro swim team participated in the 2010 NMAA State Finals on February 19 & 20th at the Albuquerque Academy. The SHS girls team took 15th place out of 27 public and private schools that were in the meet. This was the highest ranking of any AAA school in the state.
“We were excited about these girls getting there,” Socorro coach Diedra Vinson said. “Friday night is the night that you need to give it your all and try to make it to the finals. This year our goals was finals and they achieved that and more.
“We are losing two of the seniors---Nikki and Jennell. That's going to be a tough hit. But we have some girls that are coming up that I know that are going to step up.”
“This year we came out 15tth and the top AAA team in the state. That's an achievement. Next year, we're looking forward to getting our boys on board and I have no doubts that they'll score in finals.”
The girls finished 13th in the 200 medley relay with Jenell Higgs, Angelina Stanzione, Nicole Engler and Jordan Vinson in 2:04.31.
Higgs was seventh in the 100 butterfly in 1:02.17 and 11th in the 100 backstroke in 1:05.44. Engler was 14th in the 100 freestyle in 58.28 and the girls were 13th in the 200 freestyle in 1:49.92.
