The THS swimmers ranked 9th of 9 in Saturday’s WIAA Sectional meet at UW-SP with 88.5 points. Ashwaubenon (350.5) nipped River Falls (334.5) for the title.
“Team point totals don’t even begin to show how well the Hatchets competed,” Tomahawk coach Marion Kohl said. “Twenty-three out of 30 swims were personal best records-76%-definitely the way to go out against the tough sectional.”
