2009 PARTING GIFT: On his last day swimming at NorthWest Branch pool, graduating senior Doug Mackenzie set two final NWB Pool Records -- the 15-18 Boys 100-Meter Freestyle and the 15-18 Boys 100-Meter IM. This clip shows the 100-Meter Freestyle. The meet was against Garrett Park, which the NWB Dolphins won by five points.

HEART & SOUL: A dramatic race in the 175-meter Boys’ 14-and-under Relay at the 2005 Divisional Championship proved that it’s not always what place you take in an event but how hard you try. It was glorious day for swimming and for cheering -- but it wasn’t that great for your nerves, at least not in this nail-biter.
