Homer’s Madison Story had the biggest meet among Kenai Peninsula swimmers. Story won the 200-yard individual medley and 100 breaststroke. She also teamed with Alia Bales, Ella Blanton-Yourkowski and Adeline Berry to win the 200 freestyle relay. The same group, with Chloe Bechtol in for Berry, won the 200 medley relay.
