Correction

The recent list of all-Eastern Carolina Conference performers was incorrect for girls swimming.

Eastern Wayne's Ashley Robinson should have been listed as an All-Conference performer and winner of co-swimmer of the year honors along with West Carteret's Courtney Whistler.

We regret the error.
