Seton athletes had another 32 Personal Records, bringing our final team to 1,144 Personal Records for the season!
Fun Fact: As a team, Seton scored 184 total points, and 63.6% of them (117 points) were scored by swimmers who were not experienced USA Swimmers. I am confident that no school in the VISAA saw that level of scoring from their high-school swimmers.
