Good Luck to our 11&O Championship Team!  

We are proud to cheer on our 11&O State Championship Team as they compete at the Oregon 11&O State Championships in Gresham from July 24th–27th!

Congratulations to the following athletes:

  • Aurelia Anderson

  • Izzy Da Cruz
     

  • Sonia Ellefson
     

  • Bella Jones
     

  • Morgan Lee

These swimmers have demonstrated exceptional dedication, consistently attending two-hour morning practices throughout the summer. Their hard work, perseverance, and commitment have paid off.
