FREMONT - Led by junior Klava Katayama, the Ada swim team competed well in the 16-team St. Joseph Invitational meet Saturday, December 15 at the Fremont Ross High School natatorium.

The purple and gold girls finished eighth out of 16 squads, while the Bulldog boys came in 11th out of 15 squads.

Upper Sandusky won both the boys and girls team titles.

"We had a lot of time improvements; the biggest one of the day was (that) Klava broke two of her previous records for the Fremont Invite in the 50 free and 100 fly," said Ada head coach Stephanie McMahon.
