Colton Houck brought home two accolades from the PIAA 2A state swim meet, held on March 13 and 14 at Bucknell University. Houck was the state champion in the 50-yard freestyle and placed third in the 100-yard freestyle.

Houck qualified for the state meet after winning the 50 and 100 freestyle events at the PIAA District 3 competition, a feat he also achieved in 2025. This year's district meet was held at Cumberland Valley High School on Feb. 27 and 28. Houck is a junior on the Donegal High School swim team.
