Camas swimmers save best for last

A heart pounding effort by 12 Papermakers propelled the Camas girls swimming team to the district championship Friday and Saturday, at Kelso High School.

Sidelined by shoulder surgery last season, Corinne Bintz accomplished her goal of qualifying for state in all four of her events. Bintz, Siobhan Choong, Hannah Clayton and Jessica Bretz won the 200-meter medley and the 200 freestyle relay races. Bintz also earned second place in the 100 breaststroke and third place in the 50 freestyle.
