Xavier Prep’s swimmers and divers appear to be on the way to another strong season.

The Gators, who won last year’s Division I state title, scored an impressive 116 ½-69 ½ victory over host Mesa Mountain View on Thursday (Sept. 13) at the Kino Aquatic Center in Mesa.

Xavier won all three relay events as well as the following individual races:

Freshman Gracie Munk (100-yard butterfly, 100 backstroke), sophomore Mia Rankin (500 freestyle), sophomore Pao Guerra (50 freestyle) and junior Vica Dow (100 freestyle).

The XCP divers also had a strong showing.

Senior Alyssa Largay won the event, while freshman Sam Klein finished third.

Xavier has a quick turnaround, competing in the annual Wolves Classic at Chandler High on Saturday (Sept. 15). First race begins at 8:30 a.m.
