Kohler also helped lead the 200-yard freestyle relay team—composed of Avery Haney, Sophia McKee, Annabelle Horn, and Kohler herself—to a commanding first-place finish.
The Bombers celebrated another individual victory with Josh Worman’s first-place performance in the 100-yard butterfly. On the Lady Bombers’ side, Annabelle Horn claimed the top spot in the 100-yard breaststroke.
