Katie Countryman advances to state: Katie broke the team record and secured her place at the state meet as the sectional champion in the 100 fly. This marks a historic moment for our team, as it is the first time in 19 years that a girl from our program has made it to the state meet. Katie’s determination and skill have set a new standard for our team, and we couldn’t be prouder.
