The team of Reia Tong, Victoria Kuhn, Audrey Gould and Charlotte Meyer won the 400-yard freestyle relay in record setting time, finishing in 3:35:05. Tong, Meyer, Gould and Sarah Kannan also took first place in the 200-yard freestyle relay. Gould placed first in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 1:06:48, while Tong placed first in the 50-yard freestyle.

The boys swam well in the relays, with the team of John Mooers, Jacob Taswell, Adam Bloom and Patrick Scordato finishing third in the 200-yard freestyle relay and fifth in the 400-yard freestyle relay. Scordato also finished first in the 100-yard butterfly.

“We didn’t really know what to expect because it was our first state meet,” Tong said. “Our swimmers really stepped up and performed well.”
