Swimming and Diving BV vs St. John's Prep

Andover Defeats 13x Massachusetts State Champs Under Friday Night Lights

(Andover) – Andover, the winner of the past four New England Championships and the defending Eastern Champions, faced St. John’s Prep, the winner of the past thirteen Massachusetts State Championships at Andover. For Andover, the rare yet annual Friday night competition, coupled with a Saturday meet against Suffield and Peddie, poses a great challenge as it prepares for Easterns.

With another week of great work behind it, Andover delivered many personal in-season best times against St. John’s, highlighted by a new pool record in the 200 Medley Relay.
