Dhani Freeland, Kylie Webb, and two Hood River Valley High School girls relay teams earned finals appearances and podium finishes over the weekend at the OSAA 5A state swimming championships at Mt. Hood Community College. With these finishes earning team points toward overall titles, the HRV girls ended up fourth behind Bend (1st, 74 points), Summit (2nd, 72 points) and Mountain View (3rd, 42 points) and just ahead of Sandy (25 points) to round out the top five.

The HRV boys sent swimmers to compete in eight events, but none made it out of preliminary rounds Friday to qualify for Saturday’s finale.
