Ralph Cornejo to swim at State

A neat thing happened at the beginning of this week! Senior Ralph Cornejo, who swam a state consideration time in the 100 Yrd Butterfly at AVCTL Division III/IV League last weekend, learned that his time was good enough to allow him to compete at 5-1A State Swimming starting today held at the Shawnee Mission Aquatic Center in Lenexa!
