MUNCIE — For the Bader sisters, there’s life in the pool and there’s life everywhere else.
“At home it’s a little different and more laid back because we don’t have anything to accomplish,” said Alex Bader, a sophomore on Jay County’s swim team.
Sophie Bader is a Jay County senior committed to Ball State when swimming in the pool and Alex’s big sister everywhere else. At home they joke around like any sisters would. In the pool they push each other like only sisters could — because there’s something to accomplish.
The pair swam together at state last year and helped Jay County to its first sectional championship in the program’s 40-year history.
