Saturday at Crawfordsville High School the Athenians battled the Western Boone Stars down to the wire for the sectional team title. WeBo ended up edging out the Athenians 360-341, but it was still a very successful day for CHS as they will send five to Friday’s IHSAA Girls Swim State Finals at the IUPUI Natatorium.
