Central hosts elite at Cape Rock Invitational

The Central boys swimming team hosted 16 teams, including Notre Dame and Jackson, at the Cape Rock Invitational on Saturday at the Central Municipal Pool.

Central swimming coach Dayna Powell was impressed with her team, although it did not have any medalists.

"All but two of the swims were our best times," Powell said. "We did not get in the top eight to medal, but other than that we had a good meet. Competition was really good."
