UPDATE: The Spencer boys swimming team encountered significant challenges during their first home meet on December 4, 2023, resulting in a disappointing 90-72 loss to Sioux City Metro. This urgent setback comes as the Tigers aim to establish their performance this season.
The meet began with high expectations, but the Tigers faced early disqualifications that had a critical impact on their overall score.

Fans and teammates are urged to remain supportive as the Tigers regroup and prepare for their next competition. The team is scheduled to compete again soon, and the focus will be on correcting the errors that plagued this initial home event.
