Correction

The Chapel Hill News attributed a quote incorrectly in its article about Chapel Hill High School's Carolina 3A swim meet win over Cardinal Gibbons and Orange (CHN, Jan. 22, 2012). It was Allie Krasnov who should have been quoted as saying: "We're all as fast or faster than (Gibbons') swimmers. Cardinal Gibbons has strength in numbers more than quality."
