Swimming and Diving
The Swimming and Diving team had an amazing start to their championship season! The boys team finished 2nd overall at the District Championship, and the girls finished 1st overall! Congrats to all of our Regional qualifiers, and to our Girls District Champions!!
We're so proud of the character the swimmers and divers showed throughout the competition. They were coachable, supportive of each other, and most importantly, they were REALLY tough at the end of the races. We've seen that same grit every morning at practice, and it's incredibly fun to see all their hard work pay off during the meet. Regional Championship in two weeks!
