Congratulations to the swimmers from the A/BB Championship. The Outer Banks Swim Club competed in the A/BB Championship meet February 25-27 in Newport News, Virginia. Brittany Brown, Mary Bryson, Jessica Cargill, Brittney Gibbs, Elise Gibbs, Andrew Diaz, Drew Keenan and Henry Roach represented the Outer Banks in this prestigious meet.

Andrew Diaz, a senior from Manteo High School, finished first in 200yd breaststroke with a final time of 2:22.86. Diaz, who also finished third in the 100y butterfly (58.02), was a finalist in all events he swam. Doing so, he now heads to the Virginia Senior Championship meet held in Charlottesville, Virginia at the University of Virginia where he has qualified to swim the 200 yard breaststroke and 50 yard freestyle.

The Region 1 A/BB Championship meet included 14 teams from Southeastern Virginia and Northeastern North Carolina. In spite of being small and the newest club in the region, OBX Swim Club held it’s own by finishing in the top 10. Competitive swimming, a relatively new sport in the Outer Banks, has caught on in popularity with local residents and their children.
