North Andover won all but one event but Central Catholic had the depth to pull out an 88.5-81.5 swimming victory. Alexandra George was a double winner for the Raiders. Michigan recruit Malia Amuan won four events for NAHS.

Behind a dominant performance by Emily Clements, Andover swimming made it 11 straight North titles Sunday night.

Clements won four goal medals, leading the Golden Warriors to the team title at the North Sectional Swim Meet at Boston University. A year after winning the North crown by just 11 points, Andover rolled to 463 points this fall, besting No. 2 Central Catholic (256 points).

The head coach may be different, but the story was the same for the Andover High swim team on Sunday.

The Golden Warriors earned seven individual or relay victories, rolling to the Merrimack Valley Conference championship title at Worcester Polytechnic Institute.  

Haverhill sophomore Cailey Simard scored an impressive 458.15 to romp to the 11-dive title at the MVC Dive Invitational. Improving teammate Sophia Lundgren was a distant second with a 371.80.

It was a neck-and-neck battle, but the Central Catholic swim and dive team eventually pulled out the 85-80 nailbitter over Lowell. Maddy Marcella certainly did her part for the Raiders, winning the 50 freestyle (26.27) while swimming a leg on the winning 200 medley relay team (2:10.13).
