Although the Northgate-Avonworth swim teams dropped a home meet to Seton La Salle last Monday -- bringing the record for the girls' and the boys' teams to 1-1 for the season -- several individual swimmers had first-place finishes recently. Pictured above from left are: sophomore Amanda Stone (A) 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle; junior Robert Johnson (A) 500 freestyle; senior Bridgit Walters (N) 200 individual medley, 100 breaststroke; junior Annie Gould (A) 50 freestyle, 100 backstroke; senior Aaron Makatura (N) 200 individual medley, 100 breaststroke; sophomore Tara Slenska (A) 100 fly; and senior Patrick Parra (N) whose honors came in the 50 and 100 freestyle events at Carlynton last week. The girls’ 400 freestyle relay, comprised of Gould, Walters, Slenska and Stone, has qualified for WPIALs, and Gould has qualified in the 100 backstroke, and the 100, 200 and 500 freestyle.
