LEWISBURG -- Thanks for checking the Varsity blog and for District 10 updates from Wednesday’s PIAA Class AA swimming and diving meet at Bucknell University’s Kinney Natatorium.
Because of the meet's format and media room location, I only plan to update at the end of each session. If a district entry places first or second, I will try to submit a separate post as soon as possible.
It should be noted that District 10 has not produced a PIAA swimming champion of any kind since 2003. That year, McDowell senior Jared Poniatowski won the Class AAA 50-yard freestyle in 20.73 seconds at Penn State University.
Wednesday's preliminary swimming session for girls will run from 8 to 9:30 a.m. and the boys from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The AA girls diving competition will run from 2 to 4:30 p.m., followed by the championship swimming session for the girls from 5:30 to 7 and the boys from 8 to 9:30.
The headline for this post will reflect my latest update and the extended entry box will include updated results from the throughout the day.
Again, thanks for checking.
