Lindbergh swimming looks to returners to power team

The Eagles finished last season third in the Seamount with a 6-4 record and an eighth-place finish at the district meet.

With a trio of top swimmers and a diver returning this season, Lindbergh’s girls swim team is looking to repeat and build on last year’s success.

The Eagles finished last season third in the Seamount with a 6-4 record and  an eighth-place finish at the district meet.

Despite some key losses, the Eagles are returning Abby Chufar, Chelsey Guhlke, Erica Garl and diver Alexa Dias, among 26 girls on the team.

Coach Roger Miron said he is expecting his team to compete in the Seamount at about the same level as last year, behind Kennedy and Hazen, but he hopes for a higher finish in the district meet and hopes to get as many swimmers into the state meet as he can.

Lindbergh opens their season tonight, Thursday, against Renton at the Hazen Pool.
