The Clinton Arrow Swim Team includes 34 swimmers in grades 7-11 from Clinton Junior High School, Sumner Hill Junior High School, and Clinton High School. The team is under the direction of Coach Marcy Rushing. This is Coach Rushing's sixth year with the Arrows. Team Captains this year are Maddy Breaux and Hayes Montgomery. All swimmers will work to meet the Mississippi High School Acitivities Association (MHSAA) Class II qualifying times for the North State Meet on October 5, at the Delta State Aquatics Center in Cleveland.
The team will have four meets in its 2024 regular season, including a first-ever Clinton hosted meet.

The top 8 individuals and the top 8 relays at the North State Meet will qualify for the MHSAA State Meet in Tupelo on October 18, 2024.
Coach Rushing is excited for the season.
