SANDPOINT — Three weeks ago today, Sandpoint boys and girls swimming celebrated historic feats. Sandpoint’s girls were named 4A state champions while the boys were named 4A academic state champions. Head coach Greg Jackson said every single one of his athletes made sacrifices in order to accomplish these once-in-a-lifetime achievements.
“Everybody on this team deserves recognition for their achievements,” Jackson said. “The girls as state champions, the boys as academic state champions and for finishing fifth. Everyone played an equal role in one way, shape, or form.”
Of course, both the boys and girls teams were expected to perform well as usual, but this year some unexpected standouts and surprises ended up being the icing on the cake.
