STATE CHAMPS!

Sunkist won the 2016 MSI Long Course State Championships to make it 6 in a row in a hard fought battle with SWAT, coming out on top by the slim margin of 70.5 points.  Projected to finish second by 123 points, Sunkist swimmers rose to the challenge in a weekend full of great races, breaking 9 state records and 25 team records.  Congrats to our coaches, swimmers and parents for getting the job done up in Tupelo and ending the season with the team's 36th state title!
