Downers Grove North Honors All-American Swimmers, Divers

More than a dozen All-American swimmers from Downers Grove North were honored during the program's intersquad meet Aug. 30.

North High has produced 28 All-American swimmers and divers, a distinction awarded through the National Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association.

To be considered an All-American, swimmers must compete for an interscholastic team and be scholastically eligible. The fastest 100 athletes in each event are named All-Americans.

The All-American recognition ceremony coincided with a fundraiser for 2006 North High graduate and All-American swimmer Kayla Redig, who is battling breast cancer.
