The Lady Ramblers brought their talents to the FMC Natatorium to race for the last time this season at the IHSA State Swimming and Diving Championships. After the prelims concluded on Friday the Ramblers advanced all 3 relays along with 5 individual swims for finals the following day. The Ramblers entered the finals session projected for a 9th place team finish but ladies of LAGSD had other plans. Once the waters settled the Ramblers surged to a 7th place finish out of a field of nearly 250 programs participating in the IHSA Series that includes both Sectionals and State! This was the highest finish for the Lady Ramblers since 2016.
