The Hopewell Vikings HS Swim team had a fantastic meet on Saturday competing in the West Allegheny Christmas Invitational!

Coach Lopez’s swimmers had a ton of personal best times, lots of podium stands, some WPIAL cuts and even a Hopewell school record was broken!

The highlights of the met were Hazel McCowin not only taking first place in both the 200 IM AND 100 Backstroke but breaking her own school record in the IM and also breaking the school record in the 100 back!
