Another Historic Season for Walker’s Swim and Dive Team

Walker’s Swim and Dive team traveled to North Attleboro, Massachusetts to compete on March 8, 2025 in the NEPSAC Division III Championship with one gold medal already in hand — Emilia Auger ’26 won first place for diving earlier in the week at Williston Northampton School. The team competed at Wheaton College in the traditional all-day event with qualifying rounds taking place in the morning. All 16 swimmers advanced to the afternoon heats, and, as individual awards rolled in, Walker’s was established as a force in the pool. When all events were completed, Walker’s clinched the title with 476.5 points for the day, earning the first NEPSAC Division III Championship trophy in the swim program’s history. In addition to the team championship, senior captain Ava DeSio ’25 earned the Grace Robertson Award for the top female student-athlete of the meet. 

Congratulations!
