Lawrie, who also swims at Rocky Mountain Rapids, holds the DCHS school record in the 200 free (1:47.47) and is on the record-holding 200 medley relay (1:36.88) and 400 free relay (3:12.12) teams.

Donehower is the school record-holder in the 200 IM (1:59.30), 500 free (5:54.90), and 100 breast (1:02.06) and is on the record-holding 200 medley, 200 free and 400 free relay teams. Donehower is a nice IMer, with a good breast and solid strokes all the way around. He also enjoys distance freestyle, where he has made tremendous improvements during his prep years.
