“Jennings County did not have the numbers they usually do, but they had some really good swimmers,” BNL coach Adam Young said. “We swam a lot of off events so we can continue to get times. We had a lot of high points throughout the meet.
“Cameron Irwin and Francesca Orozco continue to impress with drops. Talon Hooten is really improving right now. Jabrie Sullivan is another one that continues to get faster.”
BNL will host Columbus North on Saturday.
