Aug. 23—A wonderful tradition dating to 2018 played out Saturday morning in Urbana — bigger and better than ever.
A total of 72 girls' swimmers and divers from Urbana, Champaign Central, Centennial, Uni High, St. Thomas More and Mahomet-Seymour participated in the C-U Relays, a service project and charity event that brings rivals together in advance of the competitive season.
What takes place out of the pool is highly impressive.
Teams and families collect snacks, diapers and Pull-Ups for children in Crisis Nursery's care. After the meet, swimmers, divers and coaches deliver the donations to Crisis Nursery's Touch-a-Truck event in Champaign.
"We are incredibly proud of these 72 young women for coming together not only as athletes, but also as members of our community," Urbana coach Amanda York said. "The meet is a great example of how high school athletics can extend beyond competition and provide opportunities for teamwork, service, friendship and community involvement."
