This is the second season of the rebirth of the Swimming and Diving Teams.  The girls team has grown from 6 swimmers to 12 and the boys team has grown from 2 swimmers to 6.  The girls were 1-7 last year and the boys were 0-8.  The teams have 8 more dual meets prior to the Southwestern Championships and the State Meet.  Jake Shoberg, Nathan Paluso, and Lance Webster posted times that qualify them for the State Championships in February.

Congratulations to the Windham High School SWIM TEAM for a GREAT first meet of the season against Portland! Both our girls and boys teams won the meet. Well done EAGLES!
