Ethan Daniels, Ada swim team member, was recognized during this past weekend’s Western Ohio Aquatics League champions in Bluffton.
He was among 24 high school grads who competed for the final time in the WOAL meet. Daniels was the lone Ada swim team member who graduated this year, as the team is loaded with young talent.
Here are several photos of Ethan at the league meet. He earned a medal in the 15 and over boys’ breast stroke.
