Squirrel Relay Crushes Competition (read: almost loses to HS kids)

Sunday, 15 June 2008


Yes, you heard right. Last Tuesday the Ohio Squirrels showed up to practice at Milford only to find a MAST swim meet in progress. Armed with nothing but his good looks Mike Jones convinced the persons in charge to allow a Squirrel relay to enter the last event: 200 Freestyle Relay. Mike Jones, Roman, Kent and Mathers took up the duty of representing the infamous Ohio Squirrels. The finish was close and contestable but we're pretty sure the Squirrels came out on top (and even if we didn't, let's do our dignity a favor and pretend we did). 

See all the relay pictures.
(Thanks to Dusty)

See all Squirrel pics.

Go Nuts!
