Stingrays back in action
John Sparrgrove, Francis Mueller, Elliot U’ren, and Oscar Mueller get ready for their 8&under medley relay. The group placed first in the event at Boscobel on June 20.

BOSCOBEL - The summer rec co-op swim team of the Boscobel and Muscoda Pools, the Stingrays, are back in action for the summer! The Stingrays’ numbers have improved dramatically over the years. This year’s roster includes over 90 swimmers!

After two seasons only competing in dual meets, the Stingrays hosted their first tri-meet against Richland Center and Dodgeville on June 20th. The Stingrays proved that though they have many new members, who are just beginning to learn all of their strokes, they are ready to continue where they left off last year.

Boscobel finished first, Dodgeville finished second, and Richland Center finished third for team scores overall.
