The Republic-Times Team of the Week is the Columbia High School swim team coached by Jen Traube.

They are swimming in success once again at Columbia High School with the revival of a swim team this fall. This past weekend, five girls from CHS participated in the IHSA Sectional Swim Meet. The event was hosted at Edwardsville High School’s Chuck Fruit Aquatic Center. CHS students Meredith Traube, Sydney Rey, Haley Rey, Grace Fischer and Allison Terveer competed at the sectional meet. The CHS swimmers entered two relays and each girl swam two individual events. Out of the 12 total entries, 10 placed in the top 12 and eight finished in the top six — which put them on the podium with medals.

Congrats, CHS swimmers!
