  Atlee utilized their depth and talent to swim past Hanover last Thursday night at RMC’s Estes Aquatic Center by a combined point total of 239-83. The Atlee boys won with an impressive 120-46 over the Hawks and the Raider girls were even more impressive, getting the win 129-37.

  Yet, the focus was not so much on points as it was on each swimmer delivering his or her best in the senior night meet. Hence, there were some surprising outcomes from Hanover’s side in several of the events despite the lopsided score and… Read more...
