Centerville High starts its own swim team
There are great things happening at Centerville High School.
Six years ago, Centerville began the football program. Now Centerville has started its own swim team.
The school began by asking Sarah ElRanjanoui, a teacher in St. Mary Parish, to be the head coach. ElRanjanoui swam in high school as well as played soccer and is a local triathlete.
Assistant coach is Centerville High School agriculture teacher Steve Nugent. Together, the two coaches have worked to create a small but competitive team that is seeing more success at every swim meet.
The team has already recorded several state qualifying times.
“Hopefully the team will expand in size and strength in the years to come,” Nugent said.
Leading the competition team are seniors Marlee Darden and Greg Businelle. Both students are in their first year of swimming. Junior David Nugent is in his fourth year of competitive swimming. Freshman Carver Severson is also in his first year of swimming. Several other students have been practicing with the team and are working hard to join the competition team soon.
