High School Swimming
BELFAST — One of the best parts of the high school swim season is when Midcoast county neighbors Belfast and Camden Hills dive into the campaign together and create, from day one, memorable performances along the way.
The Windjammers and Lions did that again on Friday night, Dec. 6 as the Knox and Waldo county teams split in a season-opening high school pool meet.
The Camden Hills girls won 51-43 and the Belfast boys 63-35.Watch video and see more photos below.
The meet also saw strong efforts from area independent student-athletes from Oceanside of Rockland, Medomak Valley of Waldoboro, Searsport and Mount View of Thorndike.
"As usual it was a fun, loud meet and a great way to start the season," said Camden Hills coach Hodding Carter.
