Swimming Eagles Continue to Improve

What a terrific meet on January 16th vs. Our Lady of Lourdes. Although we lost 223-213, I was very proud of our swimmers, not only for their results, but for their enthusiasm in cheering on their teammates. Going into the final 8 Freestyle Relays, we needed to sweep all 8 to ensure victory, a nearly impossible task. We went out and won 6 of the 8, and came very close to winning the other two! Those final eight relays were so exciting and our swimmers were so loud, the official actually had to ask for “quiet” to start the final race.

We continue to dominate at our younger ages, as the 10U and 8U swimmers won 17 of their 20 events.

Both the 8U AND 10U girls swept their 10 events, with Anjolina Testa winning the 8U Freestyle, Meghan Soulias the 8U backstroke, Kaylin Anest the 8U breaststroke and Maggie McNamara, Kaylin Anest , Meghan Soulias and Mikaela Cornelious each winning the 8U Medley and Freestyle Relays.

For the 10U Girls, Emily Jonas won the 10U Freestyle, Raeann Dong the 10U Backstroke, Kristen Becker the 10U Breaststroke, Raeann, Kristen, Emily and Gabriella Vidad won the 10U Medley Relay and Erica Farsang, Raeann, Gabriella and Emily won the 10U Freestyle Relay.

Meghan Soulias, Kaylin Anest, Cesar Adames, Frankie Wawrzynski, Emily Jonas, Raeann Dong and Andrew Catinella all took 1st place in each of the three races they swam.

We next take on Notre Dame on Saturday, Jan 30, 3pm at Bethpage HS.

See you all at practice.
