Hawks 32-6A District Champions

"Growing up swimming I accomplished a lot by myself. But I have to say my teammates, who are like family, is probably the best part about being on this team. My favorite event is the medley, because it gets my relay team all hyped or the 100 fly because that's where I excel." -  Camille Lizada, 11th grade
Congratulations to our South Hawk swimmers!
