Delaware Hayes Roundup: Pacers swimmers battled way to state meet
ThisWeek group
A challenging season for the Delaware Hayes boys and girls swimming and diving teams ended on a high note, with three individuals and a relay competing in the Division I state meet Feb. 26 and 27 at Branin Natatorium in Canton.
Despite fewer meets and reduced practice time, as well as numerous restrictions because of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, coach Jordan Nicol said the Pacers took everything in stride and put together a successful season.
“When they came to practice they worked hard, and they were able to kind of set aside really early that it wasn’t going to be a normal season, but they didn’t let that get in their way too much,” he said. “They could have gone into the season and been down the whole time and been sad about the whole thing, but they got over that pretty quickly and they got to work.”

BoroSAFE, Hillsborough’s community organization dedicated to mental health awareness and suicide prevention, sponsored Hope for Tomorrow, its first virtual mental health fair.
The event organizers received an outpouring of support from local mental health professionals and agencies who presented workshops on Feb. 17, as well as from local business owners who donated gift cards used as prizes for a trivia game during the evening.
Although the past two Hope for Tomorrow events were in-person mental health fairs created and sponsored by the staff at Woods Road Elementary School, this year’s virtual format safely delivered much-needed information to families on many aspects of wellness during this extremely stressful period, according to information provided by Hillsborough Township.
