The Boardman Spartan Swim and Dive Team qualified 18 athletes to compete in the 2021 Northeast District Division I High School Swimming and Diving Championships in Geneva, Oh.
      15 swimmers and three divers will represent the Spartans at the Spire Institute in Geneva. Divers will compete on Thursday and the swimmers will compete on Saturday with the goal of qualifying for the state meet the following weekend in Canton. Only 24 athletes across the state will qualify per event for the Ohio State Swimming Championships.
      The Boardman boy’s swim team competed in the Division 1 Sectional Championships at Wooster High School last week. Sophomore Ethan DunLany earned sectional championship honors in the 500 freestyle with a first place time of 5:00.07.
      “Our young team of guys swam solid races and were really aggressive in the water. We were incredibly proud with how hard they attacked their events and with the amount of time they were dropping. Their hard work has paid off...we were able to qualify 11 boys and all three relays. Now we get to taper our boys and see what they can do,” Coach Carlo Cordon said.
