Lady Kingsmen Swim/Dive Remain Undefeated, Capture Another NIC Title

The Penn Girls Swim/Dive team dominated at the 2023 NIC championship with a winning score of 639. South Bend Adams placed second with 399.

Penn won 9 of the 12 events with Junior Star Lily Christianson taking two NIC records in the 200 Individual medley and the 100 backstroke. Christianson also sets a new school record in the 100 backstroke. 

“I’m very happy with how we competed at NIC and I think it puts us in a great spot to improve at Sectionals. This team puts there all into practices and I can’t wait to see how we do and where we rank,” Christianson said.

Penn Junior Avery Woods agrees.

“Everyone has worked so hard this season and it really showed at NIC. We look really good coming up into Sectionals, everyone is in great shape. We’ll definitely have a ton of best times, and I can’t wait to watch everyone race,” Woods exclaimed.

The Lady Kingsmen remain undefeated and are looking to claim another Sectional Crown. Sectional Trials begin on Thursday, Feb. 2 at Penn High School.
