Lima Elks #54 & Kenton Elks #157 Sponsor WOAL Championship Swim Meet

Lima Elks Lodge #54 and Kenton Elks Lodge #157 sponsored the WOAL (Western Ohio Aquatic League) Championship Swim Meet on July 7th and 8th, at the Kenton pool. Over 500 swimmers representing 8 swim teams from 4 counties participated in this event.

Winners who placed 7th through 16th received ribbons. Elks members presented medallions to the top six winners of each event. In addition, the 1st place winner for each individual and relay event received a t-shirt.

Thanks go to Scott Few, ER Jim Foust, PER Jim Plumb and PER Jean Zink from Lima Lodge #54 and PER Nate Davis and PER John Hines from Kenton Lodge #157 for their assistance with this event. Also assisting was Elks Scholarship recipient Mackenzie Langhals.

This event was started by Lima Lodge #54 over 40 years ago. It grew so large so quickly that we partnered with the WOAL. This event is the capstone event of the summer swimming season and is now known as the Elks Invitational Swim Meet and WOAL Championships.
