Thirteen swimmers placed at the district meet, Jan. 25-26 with all of the swimmers qualifying for regionals.

“We did really well,” coach Marlene Blanchett said. “We’re taking the more swimmers than ever before to regionals.”

Top finishers at the meet were Amanda Alspaugh who took first in both the 200 individual medley and the 500 freestyle and freshman Haley Timmons who placed first in the 100 butterfly.

“This is the first time that we have ever placed that well at districts,” Alspaugh said.
