Here are 15 swimmers and divers to watch at the girls state meet at Jean K. Freeman Aquatic Center

Edina, the Class 2A defending state champion and winners of nine of the past 13 championships, enter this weekend’s girls swimming and diving state meet as the top-ranked program in Minnesota as voted by the coaches.

Minnetonka, which came in second to Edina the previous two years — 27.5 points behind Edina last season and six points in 2022 — are ranked second in 2A by the coaches.

The two are the class of the field again in 2024.

In Class 1A, the top three-ranked programs are Monticello, Orono and Visitation, which enters the meeting having won 10 consecutive team championships. While these five programs will be competing for a team trophy, here are 15 swimmers and divers that will vie for individual medals.
