MHS Swim Team Makes History

Marblehead Girls Swim and Dive Team won the State Championships at Harvard University on Sunday, the first time the MHS Swim Team has ever won a state championship.

Coach Sue Guertin said it was the most exciting and nerve wracking meet of her 24-year career when the meet came down to the last relay, won by just one second.

Marblehead beat Wayland with just seven swimmers to Wayland's 19.
