On Monday the DEHS Swim and Dive Team traveled to Jennersville YMCA for their rescheduled meet against Avon Grove. The girls fell to a speedy AG team, moving to 4-2 for the season, while the boys advanced to 6-0.
The girls squad racked up an impressive number of 2nd and 3rd place touches, including:
Whitney Kane in 200 Free & 500 Free; Ava Sgarra in 200 IM and 100 Breast; Kayla Terry and Chloe Carroll in 50 Free; Ellie Reese and Reya Petrick in 100 Free; and Lucille Obenski & Reya Petrick in 100 Back. The girls squad is also creeping closer to their District cut in the 200 Free Relay with the A Team of Sgarra, Reese, Terry & Kane finishing in 1:47.26 and chased by the B Team of Petrick, Springer, Nguyen and Carroll.
The boys saw some new event winners in their competition. Freshman Charles O'Hara had a second place touch in the 200 Free as well as a first place and his first SECM cut in the 100 Free, paced by his teammate Gabe Carroll who touched second. Joseph Zeng and Lucas Respicio finished 1 & 2 in the 200 IM. Leo Wu, Max Rasco & Sammy Engle swept the 50 Free touching 1, 2 & 3 respectively. Matt DiAddezio added a first place finish along with a District Consideration cut in the 100 Fly (56.58.) Jack Thompson rounded out the first place individual finishes in the 500 Free.
