Junior high members of the Falls High School boys’ swimming and diving team competed against five other schools at their home pool in the Reed’s Icebox Invitational Saturday.
Top results for the Broncos during the event were seventh graders William and Sig Ginter taking second place in the 50 backstroke and 50 breaststroke respectively.
Head coach Steve Joslyn said he and his team are happy to continue a tradition that former head coach Rick Reed started over 40 years ago.
“It helps build confidence and get these young athletes recognition for their efforts instead of a participation award,” he said. “It gets pretty hectic but is so much fun.”
