The Spring Lake boys varsity swimming and diving season concluded on Saturday, March 11th at the Oakland University natatorium. The Laker state team recorded a 17th place finish. Despite a couple difficult relay decisions to make and losing a high point scorer to illness for finals, every athlete participated, and over half of them ended the season with a personal best performance.
