Making a Splash: Swim & Dive Wins WCAC Championship!

Congratulations to Gonzaga's Swim and Dive team for winning the 2023 Washington Catholic Athletic Conference Championships on Saturday, January 28, at St. Mary's College of Maryland. The Eagles finished in first with a score of 469 -- more than 100 points ahead of second place The Heights (360) and third place DeMatha (338).
