The Free Lance-Star
FREDERICKSBURG, Va. – For many year-round swimmers, competing for your high school team could be considered slumming.
Even if the competition wasn't always world class, Brandon Hamblin and Annie Boone usually found the motivation to make it fun and worthwhile, though. That's a big part of why they're The Free Lance-Star's swimmers of the decade.
"Swimming for North Stafford was one of the most fun things I've done in my swimming career," said Hamblin, who swept the Class 5 state 50-yard freestyle titles as a junior and senior in 2017 and 2018.
