In addition, to JH’s comment, the JV Swim team also went to Naperville Central for the meet. Research need to be done more thoroughly, as the students of Metea Valley have the right to factual information about their sports teams.

For swim there was also a JV invite at Naperville North on Saturday the 8th, and this Friday is the Mustang freshman/sophomore invite and no one is going to the neuqua invite on Friday because that is the diving invite and we don’t have anyway on the diving team. The varsity boys are going on Saturday to swim.
