The Atlantic Girls Swimming team will be competing in 8 events at the 2016 State Swim Meet on Saturday at the Marshalltown YMCA and this time they want to leave their mark.  The young program has continually improved under the direction of Head Coach Dean Junker and this year marks the most events they have qualified for state.  Coach Junker said he is really proud of the girls and says they are determined to get some top 10 finishes in Marshalltown.

Coach Junker has been really impressed with the way his team has competed given their program is one of the smaller schools in the state that actually have a swimming team.
