Wood's Sitton signs to swim with Lynchburg

James Wood senior Jackson Sitton signed to swim with NCAA Division III University of Lynchburg in a ceremony at James Wood last week.

The Winchester Star's 2018-19 Boys' Swimmer of the Year, Sitton placed ninth in the 200-yard freestyle and 14th in the 500 free at last year's Class 4 state meet. He was also the Class 4 Northwestern District champion in the 500 free and posted the area's fastest times in the 200 free and 500 free.

Sitton will join a Lynchburg program that placed fourth out of 10 teams at the ODAC Relays last month. Lynchburg is fielding a swimming program for the first time this year.
