Owls soar past pioneers

0

With Providence’s boys swimming and diving team only having seven athletes on its roster, Seymour was able to get more of its competitors in the pool Monday.

The result was a 135-30 home win for the Owls, who finish the 2014-15 regular season at 12-3 — the 22nd consecutive season the Owls amassed a winning record.

“We just kind of had fun tonight,” Owls coach Dave Boggs said. “It was the last chance to race before sectionals. It was a final preparation for the last phase of the season.”
