Boys’ National High School Championships: No. 1 For No. 1
After finishing runner-up last year in Swimming World’s boys’ national high school championships, La Salle College High School of Wyndmoor, Pa. came back and won its first-ever national team title.
At this year’s Pennsylvania (PIAA-AAA) Boys’ Swimming and Diving Championships, few knew that the battle for first place at states would also turn out to be a battle for the boys’ national high school championship.
The 2015-16 season was an especially emotional one for La Salle, as the team dedicated their efforts to Coach Frank Lichter, who had passed away in October of 2015. He led the Explorers to 25 straight Philadelphia Catholic League titles and four PIAA-AAA state championships during his 25-year career.
