Personal bests and notches in the win column highlight the 2012-13 season finale.
Wouldn’t it be gratifying for the swim team to close out the season with a win? The West Morris Central girls team did just that against Madison High School.

Senior Hofmann finished third in the 200 meters Free. Freshman Castaneda cruised to …
