Shorewood and Shorecrest performed well over the weekend at the District 1 Swim and Dive Championships which were held at the Snohomish Aquatic Center. 

Snohomish led throughout the meet, with both Shorewood and Shorecrest chasing them in the point battle.

Snohomish won two of three relays and three out of the 9 individual titles.

Shorecrest had 2 District Champions, Quinn Whorley in the 100 fly 1:01.72, and Aila Howson in the 100 breast 1:06.90*- which was also a new school record. 

Shorewood did not have any individual titles, but accumulated their points through massive depth, taking up numerous spots in both the A and B finals. 

It came down to the last relay (400 free) with Snohomish leading SC by 1 and SW by 5. Snohomish hit the wall first with one of their relay wins.
