“It’s a great rivalry for us,” said Bath Haverling head coach Mike Morris. “There were a lot of close races and this was one time when Bath came up on the winning end.”

Third captain Luke Ferree added second place finishes in the 200 freestyle and 500 freestyle.

“The captains pretty much led the team,” added Morris, “and the kids responded. I was proud of them.”
