Four Westmoreland County swimmers are among individual favorites at the PIAA Class 2A championship meet Wednesday and Thursday at Bucknell.
On the girls side, Mt. Pleasant junior Heather Gardner is seeded first in the 50-yard freestyle (23.24 seconds) and second in the 100 breaststroke (one minute, 3.92 seconds) after earning WPIAL titles in both events for the second consecutive season.
“My goal is to come home with two gold medals and to also break my school records in both events again,” Gardner said. “Being seeded first in the 50 free is a little nerve-racking at first.
“(There) are a lot of good girls (who are) going to be there, and both of my races will be really close.
