Rockdale swimmers qualify for state meet
Placeholder Image
As summer winds down for Rockdale's youth, several will have a chance to return to school as state champions in the swimming pool.
Rockdale's Johnson Park held a Georgia Recreation and Parks Association swim meet on July 10, where the top three finishers in each event qualified for a chance to participate in the state meet.
Carrolton is the host city for the state event on July 30-31 and Rockdale has its fair share of representatives.
Among the top finishers several won all four of their events such as Sara Marchman and Amanda Armstrong in the 9-10 year old division, Jack Mitchell in the 13-and-14 year old division and Matthew Mitchell in the 14-and-under division.
