State Swim Meet
Congratulations to our local swimmers and divers who competed at the state boys swim meet in Evanston this weekend. Waubonsie Valley finished in fifth place as a team, the second straight top five finish for the Warriors. Senior Aayush Deshpande, who finished second in the 200 IM and third in the 100-yard butterfly, led the Warrior charge. Naperville North junior Grant Bochenski took third in the 100-yard freestyle but Connor Boyle from Neuqua Valley stole the show with two state championship medals. The junior won both the 50 and 100-yard freestyle, helping the Wildcats finish in ninth place as a team.
