On Tuesday, December 9, East Noble hosted the annual Paint the Pool Pink swim meet. Swimmers from both DeKalb and East Noble wore pink caps, sponsor posters hung on the natatorium walls, and pink t-shirts could be seen all around. Outside of the pool area, the swimmers, sponsors, and parents put together a cookie walk, bake sale, and silent auction, all in support of Breast Cancer Awareness. Over the course of the night, the team raised over 1,400 dollars for the Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana.

The swim meet itself was a great competition with a great crowd there to support. Both the boys’ and girls’ team visibly swam their hardest, exhibiting East Noble’s talent and determination to kick just a little harder and make the better times for themselves. The girls’ team beat DeKalb by a score of 135-39, and the boys’ team lost, by just one close race, 82-91. The following swimmers placed in the top three during their races:
