The Bulldogs of Ionia hosted the Bulldogs of Mason tonight and won 108-75 in a Dawg fight in the pool.  Ionia girls really swam well and showed off their hard work in the pool.  The cheering in the stands was energizing, and the fellow student support was appreciated.  For such a young group, the team is performing very well and making solid progress as the season progresses.  There were 30 more personal best times tonight.
