Sandpoint High School was certainly on point again at the Idaho 5A State Cchampionships. Sandpoint won repeat titles for both genders, with Idaho Falls finishing as the runner-up for both.

Sandpoint swimming coach Greg Jackson told the Bonner County Daily Bee that the key to his program’s success the last two years has been a team-first mantra that’s been emphasized. 

“It is the values that I see in them, they exhibit to me and the athletes, that we believe in, and this team has held and performed according to,” Jackson said. “This has taught our athletes to be winners, beyond state swimming titles.”
