Homer’s Story stars at state club meet

Homer senior Madison Story won two individual titles Saturday at the Alaska State High School Invite at Bartlett High School in Anchorage.

With the Alaska School Activities Association canceling the state swim meet due to the new coronavirus pandemic, Central Area Swimming stepped in to organize a fully mitigated competition for high school age club swimmers in Alaska.

Story, who recently signed a National Letter of Intent to swim at Division I Utah, helped lead the Mariners to third in the meet. Dimond was first with 103 points, while Homer had 57 and Seward was 15th.

On the boys side, Service won with 96 points, while Kenai was 10th.
