Despite being disqualified in a relay race, Bainbridge took top honors at the West Central District 3 1A/2A boys swim and dive championships Feb. 14 in Port Angeles, and is looking to repeat as state champions.
Many other Kitsap swimmers qualified for state as well, earning high finishes in a variety of events. The 1A/2A/3A/4A state meet takes place Feb. 20-21 at the King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way.
“All of our 10-12th-grade swimmers are district and state returners, and we are looking forward to strong performances from them,” Bainbridge coach Krista Pal said.
