WAPAKONETA - The visiting Ada summer swim team lost to Wapakoneta in West Ohio Aquatic League action Monday night.
Ada was defeated 808-251 in the combined boys/girls team score to drop to 1-2 this summer.
The Alligator boys fell 360-149, while the Gator girls lost 448-102 in the meet held at the Wapak YMCA.
Lily Baumgartner led Ada with three individual race wins in the girls 13-14 age bracket.
Winning two events for the Alligator team were Tea Griffith, Eli Esguerra, Carlie Oldfield, Jentzen Lawrence, Landry Harriger and Lincoln Harriger.

“Being from two completely different professions, it takes a lot of stars to align for our worlds to cross, but that’s what happened,” said Ohio Northern University alumnae and professor Michael Rush, PharmD ’05, referencing his brother, David Rush, BSSM ’11, assistant athletics director for Kent State University.
