The girls\u2019 swim team is finishing up the season with a strong winning record. The team came in first place at the Prep A Championships and second in the combined Somerset County\/Skyland Conference meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tCaptain Grace O\u2019Mara (VI) explains that the season began with a rough start, as \u201cmost of our athletes were swimming in club meets and couldn\u2019t be at our dual meets,\u201d but everyone\u2019s hard work allowed them to recover and win the semi-finals of the state tournament against Mount Saint Mary. The troubles from the beginning of the season inspired everyone to \u201cpush ourselves and go outside our comfort zone,\u201d in the words of team member Lily Arrom (IV). For that, O\u2019Mara states, \u201cI am immensely proud of the team, and hopefully they will continue the momentum we gained this season!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tThough four swimmers and one team manager are graduating this year, Captain Darlene Fung (VI) says that she is \u201cso excited to see what the team does in the future, because not only are they a fast group of girls, they have such an amazing energy and strong work ethic. I know they will be great leaders for future members of our team, and as long as they keep having fun, the fast swimming will come automatically.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The team will compete against Immaculate Heart in the state finals on Sunday, February 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
