With three individuals and four relays named to the 2006-07 All-state Team, Memorial's Swimming and Diving team has made quite a splash in the world of high school sports.

A Junior and All-American Diver, the Mustang's Chelsea McCorvey led her team with her 6^th place finish at the state meet. Top qualifiers for the boys were Junior Chris Valach, who swam the 500 Free in 4:43.20, and Sophomore John Wagner, who shone in the 200 Individual medley with a time of 1:58.71.
