Lady Panther swimmers and divers claimed team awards at the annual ceremony April 8 in the PHS library.

Among the awards bestowed by Head Coach Robert Smartt were recognition for academics, all-state and all-conference and T-shirts for having maintained a grade point average above 3.75.

It was really great to see everyone again. It brought back some amazing memories before saying bye to my four years on the team.

I love how Bob [Smartt] made the challenges for each of us [swimmers and divers] to make us better for next year. I love how he did us individually and took all the time to do that.

I want to make it a tradition to recognize these girls, not only what they are doing in the pool and on the diving board, but what they are doing in the classroom because it’s really special.
