The Jefferson Park and Rec Sea Dragons Swim team traveled to Winder Saturday to take part in a Pentathlon swim meet at the Winder YMCA.

The meet was unique in that only the North Georgia Swim League’s top swimmers, 261 kids out of over 1,000, get to compete.

Swimmers must compete in all four individual stroke events, and then compete in the Individual Medley, which requires the swimmer to swim one lap of all four strokes.

Jefferson had their first overall winner in the four-year history of the program. Heather Perry took first in the 9-10-year-old girl age group.

Ryan Childress placed second in his age group, winning three individual events. Breen Hanson competed for the title by finishing a close fourth, and Lilli Blackstock and Caroline Mitchell turned in top ten performances.

Abby Richardson, McKenna Lee and Lindsey Kelly also competed in the 9-10 age group, turning in competitive times.
