The Wildcats swam their last regular season meet Saturday, OHSAA East
District Sectionals, at Steubenville. The Women scored 102 points and placed
10th of 18. The men scored 97 points and placed 9th of 19. While everyone
would like to advance to District competition at Ohio University in Athens, the
goal of the day is to end their season with a PR in their events. The meet
concluded with the team reaching 30 PRs on the day in individual events!
