• 200-yard freestyle — Bethany Harper
• 500-yard freestyle — freshman Kristen Harper
• 200-yard freestyle relay — Kristen Harper, sophomore Olivia Duco, sophomore Manasvi Karia and junior Leanne Su
• 100-yard backstroke — Bethany Harper
• 400-yard freestyle relay — Yang, Kristen Harper, freshman Emily Whelan and Bethany Harper
“We had a solid district meet last weekend and getting all three relays to state is an amazing way to wrap up the season for this girls team,” said coach Julie Barashkoff. “For the past few years, Bethany Harper has been our only qualifier, so we are very excited to have a bigger group of athletes participating with her down on the pool deck this upcoming weekend. This is a young determined group, which has made our season so much fun, and it also makes our future look promising.”
Captains Julia Doherty, Emily Ganz and Kate Tokareva will also attend state to support their teammates, Barashkoff said.
