Falcons fly away with Region V title

The Thunder Mountain High School boys swim team totaled 154 points to win the Region V Swimming & Diving Championships on Saturday.

The Sitka Wolves won the girls title with 163 total points. JDHS finished second with 119 points. Senior Andyn Mulgrew-Truitt swept the 50 and 100-yard freestyle sprints.
