HENLEY SWEEPS MEET � At Ashland, Henley�s boys and girls will be able to carry their heads the highest among Skyline Conference peers after sweeping the titles for the All-Skyline Meet at the SOU pool. The Henley girls ran away with the team title by notching 114 points, compared to only 57 for second-place Mazama.
