Girls swim team coach Shannon Bolger said in a news release, “Kelly, Melissa, Katie, and Charlotte are not only great swimmers but are also wonderful individuals. For the past two years these girls have competed together in the 400 free relay and became stronger after each meet. They swam their best time at states during trials in a time of 3:40.46.”
