Sea Dogs split in 2nd lap of season

The Yellow Springs Sea Dogs swam well last week, losing a close meet to Waynesville and defeating the People’s Aquatic Club in Dayton.

On Tuesday, June 24, the Dogs posted solid results, especially in the girls 9–10 and boys 9–10 categories, where six swimmers in each category scored points. Seven swimmers in the boys 15–18 added to the night’s total.

The next meet, on Thursday, June 24, was cut short by thunderous rainstorms. Still, by the 55th event, the Sea Dogs had already opened up a 200-point margin. Several swimmers placed for the first time this season.
