Girls Regional Swimming Recap: Hough girls roll in 4A West

Hough’s girls ran away with the N.C. 4A Western Regional championships on Super Bowl Sunday.

Just a few weeks after Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools announced -- and later reversed -- a COVID-related decision that would’ve ended their season, Hough will be a major threat to win a state title.

Sunday, Hough ran up 145 points, well ahead of second place Myers Park (96). Ardrey Kell was third, Providence and Lake Norman tied for fourth. South Meck (sixth) and Butler (10th) also had top 10 finishes.
