CULLMAN, Ala. — The Cullman Swim and Dive Team held its end of the season banquet at Loft 212 Sunday Aug. 13 and at the banquet, each swimmer and diver was recognized with a trophy for how many years they have competed in the program. State meet medals, century club trophies, high point awards, and record breaker plaques were also awarded. The team had a lot to celebrate! During the month of June, the team defeated Ft. Payne, Scottsboro, Albertville, Decatur, Arab, Jasper, Guntersville and Florence in their regular season meets. Their only loss of the regular season was to Madison.
