? ?‍☠️ | Everything Clare Herfel and Chase Knopf touched turned to gold. The PaNDA soph and Raider senior each placed first in two individual and two relay events while leading their teams to Region 7 four-peats. Both swimmers earned All-American recognition with their winning times in the 500 Freestyle.
