The Hershey boys' swim team has goals that most other squads can only dream about.
Trojan head coach Greg Fastrich said that the main goals for the team this winter are to win a fourth straight District 3-AAA team title and have a fifth straight undefeated season in dual meets.
One reason that Hershey may continue its dominance in the Mid-Penn and beyond is the sprint events. Many of their returning scorers are proficient in the shorter races.
Austin Doss leads the way for the Trojans in the sprints, taking two individual medals at the state meet last year. But he is not alone among the top returning sprinters, either on Hershey or across the midstate.
