These Mid-Penn boys had the fastest times for each swim event in the 2024-25 season

The high school swim season has come to an end and Mid-Penn Conference athletes are drying off as we turn to the spring.

It was an eventful winter for Mid-Penn boys. State College’s Sam Huggins earned his first state title, while Cumberland Valley’s Bode Groh and Hershey’s Gavin Tran met the moment for their first two individual state medals. Chambersburg placed seventh in team score at Bucknell, a reflection of numerous first-time medalists.

Bishop McDevitt’s RJ Duffy and Susquehanna Township’s Leo Pitassi also shined in Lewisburg, making waves over the first two days of the PIAA championships to walk out with some hardware.

Many earned their first state medals, others only added to their collections. And over the course of the season, plenty of eye-popping times were recorded. Below is a look at the top five best marks for each and every event recorded by Mid-Penn boys through the entire 2024-25 season, according to data from swimcloud.com.
