Was this a swim meet? The varsity boys only had a little rain. It was very humid and about 70 degrees. Just before the boys JV race there was a torrential downpour slowing down the race even more. In the boys championship race NS took 1st place with 113 points. There were teams from 6 states. 102 schools signed up - don't know how many actually showed. It looked like 1000s of people at event.

The pictures are terrific. What about the girls, a grandfather wants to know?

NS didn't have a girls team at this event. We were celebrating so much I missed most of the girls championship event. The results are in the link. Then I had to get home for a work commitment but hope another parent can send photos of the fast JV boys team which swept 1,2,3,4,10. in torrential rain.
