While winter may curtail pool time for many, it is the busy season for high school swim teams. The combined Northgate-Avonworth boys’ and girls’ teams hosted Knoch Tuesday evening at Northgate’s swimming pool. Knoch won the meet, but local swimmers picked up some first place finishes. Annie Gould -- pictured here -- took firsts in the 200 and 500 freestyle, building on a season that already has qualified her for WPIAL competition next month. Also taking firsts were Claire Danylo, breaststroke and Amanda Stone, 50 freestyle.
