Sierra Houck and Kylie Wilkinson represented Donegal at the PIAA Class 2A Girls Swimming & Diving Championships, which were held at Bucknell University on March 15-18.

"They trained with their club, Elizabethtown Aquatic Club, and left Tuesday for Bucknell," said Isaac Greene, the swim coach for Donegal - a school without a swim team.

"I'm both their high school and club coach," Greene added.

Wilkinson swam the 200-yard freestyle but came up short for the consolations or the finals. She registered a time of 2:04.60

"Sierra swam a personal best 24.54 to make the consolation finals, just missing out on the finals - 10th place," Greene said of Houck's time in the 50-freestye. "She did compete in the B finals, earning a nearly best 24.79."

The second day of competition had Houck competing in the 100 freestyle.

"She had a personal best 54.41, just missing the A Finals," Greene noted.

"Both girls were very proud and enjoyed their final high school meet," said Greene. "I am very proud of their hard work, dedication, and commitment. I'm honored to have been able to coach them."

With the two seniors leaving the program, including Wilkinson's commitment to Messiah University, according to the coach, Greene spoke of next year's prospects.

"Donegal looks to compete again next year at PIAA's," he said. "Even with four departing seniors, we anticipate at least two freshmen swimmers next year."
