Colt swimmers and divers had a great meet last night with both the boys and girls beating St. Charles. Our divers all hit their best scores with Rayne Alderson, Annalise Emmons, Anthony Straw, and Liam Kersten getting first and second. Sophia Mobley also got 2 firsts and went best times in both the 50 and 400 free. Other great performances included Ryder Colford in the 50 and 100, Sergio Armenta-Arias and Declan Panagopoulos in the backstroke, and Alaina Felton, Lily Peden, and Mason Connelley in Freestyle.
