PLATTSBURGH — The Plattsburgh High girls’ swim team celebrated Senior Night last Friday by edging out a 45-43 victory over AuSable Valley in Champlain Valley Athletic Conference competition.
Kara Kretser won four events for the Hornets, while Kylie Kretser and Elizabeth Chase won three times and Allie Christodoulou twice.
Micalli Johnson and Annie Manion each won three times for the Patriots.
“We celebrated Senior night for three outstanding athletes — Abby Henley, Kara Kretser and Emma Mitchell,” PHS coach Randi Christodoulou said. “It was a momentous and emotional evening, capped by a thrilling victory that came down to the final events.
“We pulled off the win just by a hair, making the night even more memorable. The team also extended a special thank you to AuSable Valley for their help and support throughout the meet.
“As we celebrated Abby, Kara and Emma, I couldn’t help but think about how much heart and dedication they’ve brought to our program. Their leadership, positivity and commitment have shaped this team — and it was only fitting that their senior night ended with such as exciting finish.”
