Shawmut Dominates at MIT!

Our squad stayed positive and tough throughout a long weekend at MIT. The meet hosted a number of teams from outside of New England Swimming, including teams from Connecticut, New York, and North Carolina. It was a competitive meet in every age group, and those Shawmut swimmers that attended rose to the occasion.
