Swim and dive
The Homer girls swim and dive team finished 11th in the team standings, spurred by the third-place result of senior Lauren Kuhns in the 500 freestyle.

Coach Kristie Mastre said she was “super proud” of the team for putting it together at the end of the year.

Homer won their first game at regions against ACS, but fell to Seward, who scooped up with first state berth in five years.
• Homer 3, ACS 1: ACS won the first set 22-25, but Homer came back to win the remaining games 25-26, 25-11 and 25-17.
• Seward 3, Homer 0: Seward shut out Homer with scores of 25-20, 25-19 and 25-21.
