Why? Because they're getting to college and underperforming because you say they haven't been challenged? Are you saying they aren't getting anything out of their high school experience? What's your reason for this obsession? If the kids at X don't feel challenged or don't love the experience, they don't have to swim there. But they do.Because X is in a class by itself. For the last time, X winning state is expected and not impressive at all. The only teams it is even competitive with is out of state. X attracts swimmers from all over the tri-state area, has more coaches and one of the best pools on campus in the state. And quit saying it is stupid. I will make a prediction for you. X wins state this year and next year and the year after. Swim against D3 colleges. Give the kids better competition.

If ur uncle had breasts they’d be ur auntNeither Gentlemen. First this was never about the Fosters (although you seem to be pre-occupied by them). They were and are the best swimmers to come out of Cincinnati in a very long time. The Aqua-Bombers knew it and know it. I still stand by my assertion that if Sycamore had the same number of state qualified swimmers X did, I think they would have won state with a team all based in the same school district. However, I am just offering up a different model, similar to what Iggy's is doing with their hockey team. Otherwise, keep on keeping on and wait for the inevitable.
Ohhh, so the best swimmers to come out of Cincinnati didn't swim at X because X didn't compromise their team philosophy over individual and somehow X still won state, therefore they should seek competition elsewhere? Who's argued with your assertion about numbers? And, what is this "inevitable" you speak of?Neither Gentlemen. First this was never about the Fosters (although you seem to be pre-occupied by them).

Ok mr snowflake - we will just take turns on who gets to win each year. This year Lakota gets it cuz their pool suxWhat are you two talking about? Quit putting words in mouth and trying extrapolate conclusions that are not spoken or implied. I could care less what happened with the Fosters at X. I don't think they cared about swimming for X. If they did, they would have. They did not want to stop training with their club team so they did not swim for X. I am guessing that it wasn't important for them. Their peers knew who the best swimmers were in the city. They went to X but did not swim for X. From my understanding, they liked the school so they stayed until it did not work out for them anymore. I just brought up Sycamore and the Fosters as an example of the fact that even though Sycamore had the best swimmers in the state, the institutional advantages that X has (the best swimmers in the region, the best and most coaches in the state and an Olympic caliber pool at their fingertips) could not be overcome. There is no hypocrisy. If you think through the model I proposed, the swimmers at X would not have to be part of a club program (perhaps saving $1000.00) and they could swim against the best swimmers in the nation every year. What I am also saying is that I can foresee a time where X's swim team will be asked not to be part of the OHSAA. The advantages they enjoy make the meets non-competitive.
I don’t know anything about ur character other then u keep saying that st x shouldn’t win cuz it’s not impressive. Your points are bizarrely constructed and based on false premisesYou defend your case with name calling and assumptions on about my character that do not matter to the debate. You lose.
