Swim Meet Wrap-Up from Coach Gray

Having our first meet against the conference champions is always intimidating, especially this year as our two best swimmers weren’t able to attend the meet, but our guys didn’t let Hargrave get them down and we had some very strong performances.

Tim Moriconi rocked the 500 free taking first place by 15 seconds. Gabriel Sun was a surprise power house placing third in both the 50 free and the 100 free. Julian Mathews-Wall stepped up for the team and swam the 200 IM despite getting in the water for the first time since last season only the day before the meet. The team really pushed themselves and did their best, which is everything a coach could ask for.  The final score was Hargrave 642, Fishburne 413.

I believe that a varsity letter should indicate both a dedication to the team and a high level of athletic performance, so to earn a varsity swimming letter an athlete must earn a fourth place finish or better in an individual event.  Following are the letters earned this meet
Julian Mathews-Wall: 200 IM
Gabriel Sun: 50 free, 100 free
Austin Hartley: 100 free
Tim Moriconi: 500 free, 100 back
Yuxiang Zhang: 100 breast
