Top three teams to watch
1. Rosary: After a quick two-year rebuilding process, the Beads will contend for another trophy behind Erin Hart, Kate Canfield and Annie Gosselin. A third straight solid freshman class will help.
2. Metea Valley: The Mustangs did not graduate anyone off their state meet team. Junior two-sport star Madie Sandberg and junior Amanda Burson are back after finishing 11th in the 100 free and 50 free, respectively.
3. Waubonsie Valley: The Warriors graduated one four-event state qualifier in Madeline Hunt but return another in junior Avery Mathew. Hunt’s sister, Hannah, a sophomore, is a rising star in the breaststroke.
