Edison Girls Win Meet by Taking 400 Relay

It came down to the last event of the meet and Edison’s 400 freestyle relay team won it to give Edison a 94-92 victory over Fountain Valley in Sunset League girls’ swimming Tuesday.

The last time Edison defeated Fountain Valley was in 1985.

Leyna Belcher and Jenna Barro had key swims for the Chargers. Belcher won the 50 and 100 freestyles and Barro took the 100 butterfly and the 100 backstroke. More importantly, however, was the girls’ swim in the 400 free relay. Belcher, who led off the relay, and Barro, who swam anchor, both had 56.0 splits.
