Swimming at the 2018 Pennsylvania 3A High School Swimming and Diving State Championships the boys from North Allegheny High School took down two National High School records. The marks fell in the 200 freestyle relay and the 400 freestyle relays.
In the 200 freestyle relay the team of Jack Wright, Joel Songer, Rick Mihm, and Mason Gonzalez touched in 1:19.60, three seconds ahead of their competition.
That time breaks their own National Public School record, a mark of 1:20.46, set in December, but comes up shy of Bolles’ National Private School record of 1:19.27.
