JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The 2014 Bolles boys' swimming team was named National High School Team Champions by Swimming World magazine for the sixth time in program history. Swimming World announced the 2014-15 winners in the September issue of the magazine.

Swimming World began recognizing the best teams in the nation in 1971. This marks Bolles' fourth title in the last six years. Bolles has also been recognized as the top boys' independent school program in the country for six consecutive years and 10 times total.

Swimming World representatives collect the top times in the country while representing a high school in a high school meet (not club swims or swims outside of the high school season), and score them as if they were in a timed final championship meet. The scores are tabulated, and the team that finishes with the most points wins.

According to Swimming World's scoring, the Bolles boys tallied 123 points, 9.5 points better than second place LaSalle College Prep (Wyndmoor, Pa.).

From the article, writer Annie Grevers noted, "Bolles captured this year's meet on the strength of its relays, scoring 110 points via first-place finishes in the 200-yard medley and freestyle relays plus a fourth place finish in the 400 free relay."
