Region Results

Congratulations both the men's and women's teams on an incredible weekend of competition at the Northern Region championships. Both teams were absolutely tremendous each night.

The women earned their fourth-consecutive region championship. The ladies defeated a very talented Yorktown team by the score of 399-336. The Warhawks had 3 individual region champions, including Maddy Grosz (diving), Anna Keating (100 breaststroke) and Alexandra Dicks (50 free and 100 free). The 200 freestyle relay (Alexandra Dicks, Anna Keating, Morgan Howat, and Elizabeth Kuhlkin) also captured the region title.

There were a number of other notable performances for the ladies, including several team and region records, and All-American times:

• 200 Medley Relay (Darby Galbraith, Anna Keating, Maggie Shi, and Morgan Howat)
• Anna Keating posted an All-American consideration time in the 200 IM and an automatic All-American time in the 100 breast.
• Alexandra Dicks posted an automatic All-American time in set a team record in the 50 free. She followed up her performance by breaking the team record in the 100 free with an All-American consideration time.

The men finished a very strong 3rd place tonight. This is the third-straight season the team finished in the top-3 for the region. Sam Duncan was the team's lone region champion, winning the dive competition by more than 70 points and earning All-American consideration status. The team had a number of other athletes finish as runners-up in their events, including Brayden Philpott (500 free) and Owen Dyson (100 free).
