He finished second in the 50-yard backstroke and third in the freestyle. Nelson is now in the top three of the middle school legacy list in the 50-yard freestyle, 50-yard backstroke and 100-yard individual medley. He is a key member of the ‘A’ relay team serving as the anchor for the freestyle relay. At a Jan. 13 meet Nelson won the 50-yard freestyle and bettered his 100-yard individual medley time by almost one minute for a third-place finish.”

Maja was instrumental with her sound defense in our team winning three consecutive region games. She also shot a career high, going two-for-three from the three-point line while sealing a Lady Indian win over Providence Christian.”
