Penn Hills swimmers improved at WPIAL championships
The Penn Hills swim team recently participated in the WPIAL Class 3A championships, showing improvements despite not qualifying for the state championships. Anthony Sipple achieved personal bests in the 50-yard freestyle and 100 back events. The 200 free relay team, including Sipple, finished 20th, improving their time from the seed. Mackenzie McIntyre placed 18th in the 60-meter dash at the Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association State championship. In basketball, Santa Clara coach Herb Sendek, a Penn Hills graduate, led the Broncos to 20 wins for the fourth consecutive season. The team was eliminated in the West Coast Conference quarterfinals but may qualify for the NIT again.
