Sussex County Swim Recap

 SUSSEX COUNTY SWIM CHAMPS OVERVIEW

by Olivia Flanz 

Last week, highschoolers from all over Sussex County took their final dive for the swim season. With Covid canceling the swim championship last year, everyone was grateful to be able to gather with swimmers from all different schools for this occasion. 

For the women's rankings; Pope John placed 1st with 356 points, Lenape Valley placed 2nd with 196 points, Kittiney placed 3rd with 195 points, Jefferson placed 4th with 167 points, and Sparta placed fifth with 137 points. For the Men’s rankings, Pope John won against Newton with a difference of more than 100 points. 

While Sparta’s rankings in the Championship weren’t as high as the others, the team is proud of what they’ve accomplished this year considering being one of the smallest teams in the league, composed of only 22 swimmers. The Championship took place Sunday, January 30th at Kittatinny Regional High School. Mr. Pat Chodkiewicz and Mrs. Jessica Trappe coach the Sparta Swim teams.
