The TC Eagles took to the pool on Saturday and made a big splash with a very little team.  Five Lady Eagles and four boys hit the surf at the All-County Meet @ Johnanson High School in Modesto.  The boys had a very good day and the girls had a "great" day as they swam to a fifth place finish.  The meet include 19 teams all much larger then TC.
