Lorton, Fairfax Station & Springfield: Swim Teams Bring in Toys for Tots

Before their head-to-head meet on Dec. 12, members of the South County and West Springfield High School swim and dive teams dropped off dozens of new toys for the South Run RECenter’s Toys for Tots donation drive.

The drive ran from Nov. 16 until Dec. 12, collecting about four large bins of presents, according to South Run Fitness director Laurie Strickland. The toys are then taken to a Marine Corps depot in Dumfries for distribution.

The South County girls team defeated West Springfield by a score of 167 to 148, while the boys lost to West Springfield 111 to 203.
