     The swimming finals took place on Saturday, 2/22.  Class 4A/3A hit the pool in the morning as the Wootton girls won their second consecutive title and the Richard Montgomery boys posted their first state swimming title. In Class 3A/2A/1A in the afternoon, the C.M. Wright girls hoisted the champions trophy for the second time and the Poolesville boys retained their grip on the state crown for the third consecutive year.  Relive every stroke, kick, dive, and turn within days of the event with on-demand viewing on the MPSSAA Network.  DVD's can be also be ordered at MPSSAA Network several days after the conclusion of the event.

     Our deepest appreciation to the University of Maryland's Campus Recreation Services for the use of Eppley Recreation Center.  We are so fortunate to have the level of cooperation and assistance from Carrie Tupper and her staff.  Many thanks to the State Swimming Committee lead by Earl Hawkins, many of whom ran region meets in addition to working the state meets.  Somehow these hard-working educators find the time to take on these additional responsibilities, and we are grateful. We will look forward to seeing everyone back in the pool next year!
