The Central Alabama Championships were held last Thursday at the Birmingham CrossPlex. The event included 27 high school swimming and diving teams in the girls division and 31 in the boys division.

Vestavia Hills won both the boys and girls Class 6A-7A divisions. The girls are undefeated for the season and the boys won all but one of their meets.

The meet had two overall girls winners, both of them eighth graders: Anna Reece Handey from Pizitz Middle (competing for Vestavia Hills) and Anne Russell from Berry Middle (competing for Spain Park). They each scored 40 points. Handey won the 100-meter breastroke and 200 individual medley, while Russell won 200 freestyle and 100 fly.

Ivy Comfort, another eighth grader from Pizitz, won the girls diving competition.
