Team bus with much exuberation
The Westfield Blue Devils girls swim team won the NJ state championship Sunday. Part of the celebration includes the Fire and Police departments and many parents meeting the team bus at the town border. From there they are escorted through town with lights flashing, sirens blaring and the girls screaming out of the windows.

Once back at the hallowed halls of Westfield High School the team and parents gather in the cafeteria for pictures, a speech by the coach and some words from the mayor extolling the girls accomplishments.
Going into the meet the girls knew how many times Westfield was beaten by Vineland. I asked a parent if the meet was close and was told no, Vineland was trounced. The score was around 118 to 52. Not only did the girls win but also broke 3 records for times and broke 5000 in power points. I don’t fully understand power points as this is my daughters second year on the team but apparently no team has ever broken 5000 in New Jersey.
The coach was proud to say that the Westfield Blue Devils Girls Swim Team has now gone down in New Jersey history as the fastest high school team ever.
There was joy in Muddville.
