“The first 50, I kind of went out pacing myself, and then for the second, I wanted to push myself a little faster so I saw to my right the swimmer who was ahead of me, and to my left, the swimmer I was ahead of, and I used that to motivate myself and push myself to a best time,” said Shah.

Shah is a senior who celebrated senior night last Thursday.

“It was definitely emotional because I have so many close ties with so many people on this team,” Shah said. “I met a lot of my closest high school friends through swimming, old faces and new faces alike.”

“Having the meet here is really nice because it’s a fast pool so a lot of people can swim their personal bests,” said Shah.
