We are so proud of our Aquatic Gryphons! The swim team made the front page sports
section of the News Sentinel as the team had a great finish at the district
meet. The entire team swam incredibly fast finishing 7th out of 36 overall. We
really surprised a few teams that did not expect a second year team to score so
well. Additionally, the boy's diving team outscored all other teams with thee
divers (Paul Bretscher, Jared Heath, and
John Alex Evans in the top five.
Check out the article highlighting Alli
Lapps and her two 1st place finishes.

just around the corner this spring!
