— Milton High School’s depth proved to be the difference at Thursday’s Rock County boys swimming championship.

The Red Hawks, thanks to wins in eight events, finished with 446 points to take the four-team title. Host Janesville Craig was second with 392.

Brandon Benson, who was named the meet’s Most Valuable, won the 200 freestyle, 100 butterfly and swam on two victorious relay teams.

Jimmy Loftus won the 500 freestyle for Craig.

“It was a fiercely competitive meet because everybody knows everybody else,” Craig coach Brian Kitzman said. “We had a good crowd on hand, and a number of meet records were set.”

Loftus was voted Craig’s Most Valuable for the meet, while Tommy Dvorak won the honor for Janesville Parker.
