A look at the Review-Journal’s Athletes of the Year from the spring season
Palo Verde’s girls swimming and diving team won its third consecutive 4A state championship Saturday at the Carson Aquatic Facility, while the boys team won its fifth consecutive title with not nearly as much drama or challenge.
The Boulder City boys and girls teams each won titles at the 3A state swimming and diving championships Saturday at the Carson Aquatic Center.
Wesley Su won the 100-yard breaststroke and was second in the 200 freestyle Thursday to lead Spring Valley’s boys swimming team to a 116-96 win over Cheyenne at Adelson School.
Abby Richter, a junior at Green Valley, contracted viral meningitis at age 11, and being out of the water for an extended period helped foster her affinity for the sport. Richter has since developed into one of the nation’s top swimmers and will compete Saturday at the Division I state swimming and diving meet at UNLV’s Buchanan Natatorium.
