The North Allegheny High School swimming team achieved a historic feat on Wednesday, setting a new PIAA record in the 200-yard medley relay at the 2026 PIAA 3A State Championships held at Bucknell University. The team of Danny Lesinski, Alex Harbaugh, Mason Shantz, and Zachary Totin completed the race in a time of 1:29:19, surpassing the previous record of 1:29:74 set by Upper St. Clair in 2015 [1].
