Despite 14 Career Best Times and three Career First Times, Northern dropped both contests. Palmyra prevailed in the Girls meet 106-64 while the Cougar Boys team scored a 127-43 victory.

 Northern's Kate Luft placed first in the Girls 200-Yard Individual Medley with a time of 2:20.10. On Tuesday, Jan. 17, both Northern Boys and Girls Swim teams defeated Trinity. The boys won with a score of 97-83 and the girls 104-79.. Photos by Curt Werner/Dillsburg Banner.

    By the time this story reaches print, the dual season will be over for the Northern wrestling team.

   As of Tuesday night, with one dual to wrestle on Tuesday, Josh Murray's boys were checking in with a 4-6 record and a 3-2 mark in the Mid-Penn Keystone Division. The struggles in the new division have been frustrating for Murray, but he's reminding himself that he has a young group with plenty of room to grow for the future.
