Swim Team Growth

Chayton Cheers, Staff Writer

Dec 5, 2023

The mens swim team’s growth over the past four years has taken it from a team with too few people to swim relay to a team with a surplus of swimmers. The adoption of ten more swimmers is due in part by senior Abram Norton’s efforts.

“When I was a freshman, there weren’t many swimmers on the team, and so I just kept telling people to join because I knew we needed more. So I told the tennis team and my friends,” said Norton.

With more people on the swim team, there are now higher chances of winning and breaking records.

“The swim team went from only having a couple of guys to not having a relay team; now we have enough for two relay teams , so we have grown a lot since I was a freshman,” said Norton.

The swim team will likely continue to grow, but only if you help. If you’re interested in swimming, you can join the team, and if not, you can always go out and support your school and your peers or friends and have a fun experience.

About the Contributor

Chayton Cheers, Staff Writer

Chayton Cheers is a 15-year-old sophomore who wanted to expand his writing and people skills, which ultimately led him to join the West Wind this year. Cheers was born in Loris, South Carolina but has become a local to Brunswick County, being raised in Ocean Isle Beach all his life. “I like to write,” said Cheers. “I think that the West Wind is going to improve my writing and people skills.” When Cheers is not listening to Taylor Swift or reading you can often find him working at The Daily Scoop on Main, doing his schoolwork, or hanging out with his family. Cheers values his education and is striving for big things. Unsure of what he wants to do with his future, Cheers does know he wants it to be writing-centered, either writing for a newspaper or becoming a novelist. Cheers wants to either attend West Virginia University, Appalachian State, or the University of North Carolina in Wilmington. “I honestly don't know what I want to do,” said Cheers. “I want to go wherever life takes me.”
