/wyoming valley west After all these months of cold weather and snow, I am
looking forward to tomorrow, the first full day of spring.
The PIAA State Swimming and Diving Championships at Penn State University
in State College was an awesome experience for the participants. There were so
many exceptional athletes. I participated as part of our relay teams. Although
we did not medal, we dropped 4.5 seconds in our 400 relay and one second in
the 200 medley relay.
Congratulations to Shana Welch who placed third in the 50-yard freestyle

Congratulations to my other relay teammates, Megan Panowicz, Erin Lehman
and Kim Perzia.
