The Lord Botetourt girls successfully defended their Conference 31 swim championship last Friday night at the Salem YMCA.
The Cavaliers scored 14 points more than second place Rockbridge to take the championship.
“What an amazing meet,” said LB coach Ashley Safarit. “I can honestly say that it was some of the best racing we have ever seen from our team. Every race counts, and we proved that Friday night.”
