The Indianola girls swimming team hosts Dowling Catholic at their home pool at the Indianola YMCA this afternoon, matching up with the second ranked team in the state. The Indians are 2-1 in dual meets this year, defeating Perry twice and dropping a close matchup with Southeast Polk, and will look to see where they stand among the state’s best as state qualifiers are just a month away.

Senior Katie Thompson tells KNIA Sports she feels the team environment is a big part of their success so far.

“It’s gone great so far, we’ve had a lot of time drops early in the season, and it’s been a really positive environment with everyone cheering each other on.”

Action starts tonight at 5:30pm.
