Oviedo junior Danielle Giddens won four events to lead the Lions to the girls championship at the Class 4A District 3 swimming and diving meet at Lake Howell.
Giddens won the 50-yard freestyle in a season-best 23.50 seconds and the 100 freestyle in 51.79. She also anchored Oviedo’s winning 200- and 500-yard freestyle relays. Lake Brantley finished second, led by sophomore Keira Druck’s victories in the 200 freestyle (1:53.34) and 500 freestyle (4:59.27), plus a first-place 200 medley relay swim.
On the boys side, Winter Park won the District 3 title with 557 points, ahead of Oviedo’s 463.5. Junior Denzo Senekal won the 200 freestyle in 1:41.22 and the 100 backstroke in 51.76, while also contributing to two winning Wildcats relays. Brothers Kike and Lucas Morano added individual wins and swam on two first-place relays.
Elsewhere in Central Florida’s Class 4A district meets, Seminole swept the boys and girls District 2 team championships, while Windermere swept District 4. Lake Nona won the District 5 girls title and Dr. Phillips took the boys title.
