Making waves: Lions swim past Eagles in virtual meet

 Belfast earns plenty of top finishes against Mount Ararat

By Staff | Jan 23, 2021

BELFAST — The Belfast swim teams — from the comfort of their own pool — collected a pair of victories over Mount Ararat of Topsham on Friday, Jan. 22, as the Lion boys swum to a 67-27 win and girls a 50-37 triumph.

This season, due to COVID-19, high school pool meets are done virtually as opponents race with officials present at their home venues and “away” teams submit times to the “home” squad for comparisons.
