Ada posted six first-place finishes, five of which were meet records. Seniors Andrew Ross and Andrew Robey, junior Zach Beaschler and freshmen Klava Katayama and Isaac Spar set meet records for the Bulldogs.

The Bulldogs did well despite having just four swimmers from each of the boys and girls squads able to compete. Two second-place Ada finishes also eclipsed previous meet marks.

Ada schools have used six weather/calamity days so far this school year. Due to this, school will take place on Monday, March 6, which was originally the first of a five-day spring break. In the event of another day with no school the next make-up day is March 7, then March 8 and so on. If the district reaches an 11th calamity day and absorbs all five March make-up days additional days will begin to add up at the end of the school year, according to Meri Skilliter, superintendent.
