In the medley relays, the Dolphins earned eight first place finishes, one second-place, and one third-place finish. In the freestyle relays, these Wood River racers had 10 first-place finishes.

?To say I?m proud of what our Wood River Dolphins accomplished this season would be an understatement,? said head coach Chris Jafay. ?Wood River Swimming has always been a great tradition, a winning tra-dition!? Jafay said.
