Unionville will look to fight their way to a district title in the 200 and 400 relays<\/p><\/div>\n

PHILADELPHIA\u2014It\u2019s that time of year again, as people everywhere start to think about spring and begin looking forward to planning day trips to the city, days lounging poolside and summer vacation, the young men and women that have spent tireless hours training in the gym and countless days of lap after lap in the pool since November, prepare to take on the best that the state has to offer.<\/p>\n

Unionville, whose boy\u2019s team claimed their second consecutive Ches-Mont championship along with the girl\u2019s squad which dropped just one league match all season will be well represented as the best of District One take to the water at LaSalle University.<\/p>\n

On Thursday and Friday in the PIAA District championship will take place, with a berth at the Pennsylvania state championships to be held at Bucknell University at stake along with district glory.<\/p>\n

A dozen Indians girls will be in search of a district medal and place in the state meet in mid March.<\/p>\n

Senior Matt Drohan, who will be competing next year for Penn State, along with his eight Unionville teammates will be looking to go out with a bang as Drohan has to be one of the favorites to claim the gold in the 500-yard freestyle, along with the boy\u2019s 400-yard relay which has a real shot to make an impact at districts and states, coincidently anchored by Drohan.<\/p>\n
