Back in my time, there was a single swim team in the Cedar Rapids metro area that anyone cared about: Washington. The swimmers on that team, including its current coach Chris Cruise, were dominant. Between Cruise, the DeBooms, Stefan Frishkorn, Matt Parker, Wade Feller, and a great diver by the name of Donnie Bear, Washington was "it" when it came to high school swimming. Linn Mar, in Marion, didn't have a swim program or, if they did, I don't remember it. I remember there was a girl swimmer at Prairie, but I can't recall any boys from Linn Mar. And yet, now in 2017, Linn Mar is the program that takes down a 53 year dominance by 6.5 points. That's totally awesome!
