Eagles Win Home Opener vs. St. Agnes (1/15/11)

Prior to the meet vs. St. Agnes at Bethpage HS, the Eagles honored the memory of Coach Nancy Donlon.

Nancy must have been watching and listening, as the inspired Eagles swam one of their best meets of the past several years, beating St Agnes 245-191. In the process, the Eagles won an incredible 30 out of 52 events, including 12 of the 16 relays.

The swimmers continue to improve upon their times across the board.
