The Chaparral Swim and Dive Team on Thursday celebrated their 18 Seniors, in a victorious manner with the Girl’s defeating Pinnacle 141-45 and the Boy’s 138-37! In a day that was full of enthusiasm there were also some tears of joy for those seniors on both the Boy’s and Girl’s Side. Both sides over the years have combined for 5 State Championships, 2 Swimmers of the Year, and 1 National Championship. What an amazing group of Seniors and what a way to go out on Senior Day.
