HS SWIMMING: 2020 Les Richards Championships this weekend

Good Friday to you all.

This is a very important weekend for high school swimmers as the annual Les Richards Championships are held at Scranton High School.

But first, congratulations to the Delaware Valley boys team and the Scranton Prep girls team.

Delaware Valley won a fifth consecutive Lackawanna League championship with its win over Scranton Prep on Thursday. The Warriors finished another undefeated season and improved their record to 110-2 since 2007 in dual meets. That is just incredible.

Scranton Prep, meanwhile, beat Delaware Valley, to clinch a tie for the title. The Classics still have a meet next week against Wallenpaupack, but after what they did to the pool records at Delaware Valley, all indications are they will also finish the season undefeated.
