It was a clean sweep for the Columbus North boys and girls swimming teams Thursday against Seymour.
The Bull Frog boys won 134-52, and the girls prevailed 131-54.
"From our three meets in boys and two meets from our girls, we’ve been improving from that, so I was happy to see that," North coach Logan Schaefer said. "The kids are putting in the work in practice, and they are seeing it payoff right now. Right now, we want to keep it moving in the right direction."
The Bull Frogs won in just about every event, with the exception of two.
