BOWLING GREEN - Ada senior Klava Katayama set a district record and almost all Bulldog swimmers set personal-best times in 10 events in the Div. II district meet held at Bowling Green State University Friday evening. 

Four Ada individual swimmers competed in two events apiece, and two girls relay squads also participated well at Bowling Green. 

"Out of the 10 swims we had yesterday, almost every single one was a time improvement," noted Ada head coach Stephanie Steiner-McMahon.

Lady Bulldog standout Katayama made it to the state championships for the fourth straight season with two strong performances.
