The Manhasset boys swim team continued their remarkable run by winning their seventh consecutive conference dual meet to improve to 7-0. In the last two weeks the Indians defeated Hempstead, Bethpage, Jericho and Wantagh. Their victory over Wantagh on Friday guaranteed the Indians of a share of the conference title. This is their second title in the past four years (the only two conference champions in the history of Manhasset boys swimming).
