The boys' and girls' swimming teams won Class 1A District 12 Championships at the Ansin Aquatic Center on Oct. 30, each topping a field of more than 10 schools as three young swimmers – Mattie Barfield '21, Sophie G '22 and Magnus Kron '21 – led their teams by capturing individual district titles and earning multiple medals.
