GIRLS SWIMMING
CLARE CHANDLER, Park Tudor
Chandler's victory in the 500-yard freestyle and the 200 individual medley in her meet last week reflects her superior attitude she has had since ninth grade, according to her coach. "The team has grown from an eight-girl squad in 2011 to a whopping 23 girls in 2015. This growth is due to Chandler's leadership and enthusiasm."
