Swimmers converge on City/County meet

The Roanoke Valley Aquatic Association's Duane Whitenack City/County Championship meet is continuing today. The competition is taking place at the Salem YMCA this year instead of Radford University, while the Dedmon Center is undergoing renovation.

We have a photo gallery of the scene Friday.

And here's a link to a story by Doug Doughty about young swimmers' quest to learn proper ways to dive in for their swim. That will take you to a gallery of more photos.

The story notes that Hunting Hills is in the lead, and includes this information on records: "Noah Bowers of Elks Club and Keith Myburgh of Spring Run each broke two records, respectively, in the 6-and-under boys' and 7-8 boys' divisions. In addition, Alex Vance of Castle Rock broke the record for the 100-yard individual medley in the 13-14 boys' division and Chris John broke his 1-year-old 50 backstroke record in the 25-39 men's division."
