The Northshore High School’s swim team swept the Northlake Regional High School Championship in Thursday’s meet held at Crossgates Family Fitness.

Northshore coach Ed Kelly said the championships provided quality swimming.

“I thought the competition from all teams was better than I’ve seen the last couple years,” Kelly said. “I attribute that to the Olympics with the influx of athletes. I’ve also seen that in the year-round programs.”

Winn said she was happy to come in first, but more importantly because it helped her squad win.

“I was pretty excited about winning. It’s always a good feeling to know you helped your team,” Winn said. “This performance sets the tone for what other teams can expect from us at metro and state.”

Mandeville’s Brittany Alexander also won multiple events. She took the 50 (25.87) and 100-free (55.50). She was also involved with the Lady Skippers’ winning teams in the 200-freestyle and 200-medley. The 200-freestyle squad (1:47) also included Emily Campbell, Sara Smithers and Rachel Cole. The 200-medley team (1:58) also had Campbell, Cole and Erin Peterson participating.
