Souhegan swimmers are off to a great start this season. After a meet at Keene on December 6th, one in Goffstown on the 13th, and last weekend at the Ice Breaker Invitational at UNH, eleven Souhegan swimmers qualified for events at the NHIAA Division 2 State Championships. Swimmers qualify for events at Championships by swimming under a certain time limit during regular season meets. Listed below are the swimmers who qualified for events during the month of December. More Souhegan swimmers can qualify at each meet, so more qualifiers will be recognized at the end of each month of the regular swim season, prior to states.
