Andover Central’s Sienna Hurst has made her mark on both the wrestling mat and in the pool. After taking part in both the wrestling and the swim team, Hurst is ready to take on another year.
Hurst has been preparing herself and her body for the long spring season just around the corner.
“I had some trouble with my knee last year that caused issues with my swimming,” Hurst said. “So, I’ve been working on improving that as well as my strength and endurance outside of the pool. This includes a lot of cardio-type training as well as shoulder and core strength training. My dad is a trainer so he has been helping me with that.”
Even with an injury, Hurst still made a state tournament appearance, and has hopes to move her way up the podium.
“Last year I placed eighth at state in the 100 yard breaststroke so this year my goal is to place in the top five as a Junior,” Hurst said. “Then next year my goal is to place even higher.”
With some new changes to the program, Hurst is excited to see what the future holds for her and the team.
“One thing I’m really excited about for this season is the fact that we have a new coach,” Hurst said. “We are all anxious to see what our new coach will be like along with the training protocols.”
