The state swim meet is still over a month away but teams are continuing to gather the necessary qualifying marks based on the provisional and automatic times set for this fall. 24 swimmers will qualify for each individual event in Division III and 32 will qualify for D-I and D-II. 24 relays will qualify regardless of division.

Southern Arizona power programs Catalina Foothills and Salpointe met in a dual meet held at Amphitheater Pool on Thursday and the Falcons swept the meet with the girls getting past the Lancers by a slim 85-82 margin and the boys came away with a 119 to 45 victory.

“I love it, it's a great team,” Driscoll said on her new team. “The community is so strong and everyone's really good friends. Everyone loves each other and respects each other very well. My personal goals for this high school season is to take the 100 Fly and the 50 Free and then hopefully we get a top five in the relay races.”
