WGCC Swim Team Wins Division-A Championship

Lightning swimmers break several records.

Last year, the WGCC Lightning swimmers lost the Country Club Swimming and Diving Association championship title by a half a point to Kenwood. Had any one WGCC swimmer finished one place higher during the two-day league championship meet, the team would have won.

This past week, the team moved three steps closer to claiming that title with decisive victories in three of their biggest meets this season.
