2011 Milan Lady Indian swim team breaks EC Lady Trojan dominance

Gary Franklin, Sports Editor

Anticipation of a victory for the 2011 Milan Lady Indian swim team, coached by Zack and Paige Wade, grew as the East Central Lady Trojan swim team was for the first time in history coming to compete in Milan's pool at MES.
For years Milan had EC on their competition schedule, with the Trojan's unwilling to travel to Milan. That was going to become a thing of the past this year. EC would either compete at Milan or not meet at all.
Added to the mix, Milan swimmers had always come up short against EC, driving the deep rooted need to win even deeper into the minds and hearts of the 2011 Milan Lady Indian swimmers.
The final points tally at meet's end resulted in an unprecedented dominating 96-72 victory for Milan, over the visiting EC Lady Trojans.
