fifth-place finish at the National Championship earlier this summer and look to continue competing nationally.

Coach Birchfield mentioned his excitement for the program and those returning from last season’s roster. “I am proud of the young men and women who have put in the work to receive this type of recognition,” Birchfield said. “We have a good program here that’s only getting better.” “Last year we finished as the strongest team in the state and one of the strongest in the southeast,” Birchfield added. “Our program is growing as a national contender, and we are excited for the opportunity to compete this season.”
