Region VI schools hit the pool for first time together at Hamme

FAIRBANKS, Alaska (KTVF) - While a head-to-head meet between Monroe Catholic and West Valley High School officially kicked off the 2021 swim season, this past weekend saw all of the schools from Region VI dive into the waters at Hamme Pool for the Lathrop Invitational.

West Valley boys and girls racked up 326 points to take the combined team scores title, while North Pole finished runner-up with 97. Lathrop rounded out the top three, while Valdez, Hutchison and Monroe - who feature smaller rosters - followed behind.
