"What I have liked most about this team is how they bonded and supported each other throughout the season," said Head Coach Candy Allen. "The boys that have made it to Regionals have extraordinary talent, and I hope they continue to improve and get their best times."

Next, the JPT boys team will prepare for Regionals on Thursday, November 4, at Academic Village Pool in Pembroke Pines.
