Varsity Boys Swim & Dive -- Due to the small number of swimmers on both Allegan and Hastings this season, we have decided to combine their two dual meets with South Haven into one three-team meet on Tuesday, 1/9/24. Therefore, we will no longer host Hastings this coming Tuesday (12/19), but instead swim against both schools when they come to our pool in January. The online schedule should now be updated and correct.
