The Highland Park boys and girls each scored convincing wins over Lovejoy in a dual meet on Tuesday at the Highland Park Natatorium.

Three freshmen won multiple individual races for HP — Maddy Helton (200 freestyle, 100 backstroke), Hannah Jiang (200 individual medley, 100 breaststroke), and Katherine Huang (50 free, 100 free). Christina Bambach took gold in the 100 butterfly.

On the boys side, several swimmers were victorious for the Blue Wave, including Peter Paulus (200 IM, 100 back), Henry Wang (200 free, 500 free), Ethan Nguyen (50 free, 100 free), Alex Stidham (100 fly), and Omar Hmimy (100 breast).

HP’s Dash Wolford and Erin Harper won the diving events, and the Blue Wave also triumphed in every relay. The team will next host a dual meet against Jesuit and Ursuline on Oct. 31.
