An Arlington team, maybe two, likely will be the Division II diving champion of the Northern Virginia Swimming League this summer.
Entering the final week of the regular season Donaldson Run and Overlee are tied for first with 3-1 records. So the county rivals could finish in a two-way tie for the title or one could emerge as the sole champion depending on those week-five results. If both lose, there is a possibility Kent Gardens of McLean (2-1-1) could win the title.
In week four action, Overlee defeated Hayfield Farm, 44-28, while Donaldson Run lost to Kent Gardens, 38-34.

In Division III, Dominion Hills is another Arlington team tied for first at 3-0-1 with Highlands Swim of McLean with one meet remaining. Those teams don’t meet in the final match.
