Kodiak High School’s swim teams are already emerging as strong contenders in the state after both the boys and girls came in first at a meet last weekend in Homer.

The girls blew away the competition, winning by 92 points. The boys also took first but by a more modest 4-point margin. The regional meet hosted 11 schools.

Coach John Lindquist says Kodiak’s girls are looking very strong this year with no clear regional rival.
