Zephs sweep Marian
Whitehall’s swim team hosted Marian Catholic for their final meet of the regular season on Feb. 14 when the Zephyr girls won, 127-27, and the Zephyr boys won, 106-49.
The Zephyrs also celebrated Senior Night, so it was only fitting that senior Kelly Wallitsch led off the 200 medley relay to open the meet.

The all-senior boys team of Gabe O’Brien, Ian Thomas, Aaron Stinner, and Andrew Deutsch also won the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:46.02.
Wallitsch went on to win the 200 freestyle in 2:26.08, and Kyra Giedl won the 200 IM in 2:36.93.
Alex Madden won the 200 IM for the Zephyr boys in 2:34.16.
