Last Thursday, September 26th, the Huron Valley United Girls Swim and Dive team traveled to Waterford Kettering to open up its LVC schedule, defeating the hosts, 138 to 18. The meet featured 22 personal bests and 12 season best performances, as the team made a last push for County qualifying marks.

Sophomore Annabelle Thompson swam a state-qualifying time in the 200 Freestyle.

Athletes of the Meet were senior Diver Sophia Stankov for a big PB in diving and sophomore swimmer Ana Duarte for a pair of really great swims in the 200 and 500 Freestyles.
