Staff Report
The Tallassee Tiger Sharks swim team finished 12th out of 31 teams at the state meet in Opelika, July 28-29. There was one state titlist.
In the freestyle, Crockett Moyers won the boys 6U division.
"I am so proud," coach Donna Funderburk said. "Crockett was in lane eight and came out first."

"We only swim in May, June and July and try to beat the programs that swim year-round. It's harder when they get older because all they do is swim. We do other things," Funderburk said.
Although it is the conclusion of another swim season for some, for others the training and competition will continue. Tallassee High School is adding swimming to its athletic offerings this fall.
"I can't coach because it's against AHSAA rules," Funderburk noted. "Jamie Aldridge will be the coach and I'll be their mentor. Some of our rec kids will stay with it. Four or five go full-time in Auburn."
