Championships by capturing their third straight title in the last three
years. In the process, Krystal Kovach (Scott Township/Chartiers

He would also grab team records in the both the 100 free (49.52) and 800 free (7:20.88) relays. These relays as well as the 100 fly relay has qualified Dombrosky for the ECAC championships.
