The Sharks were in the water and were on the hunt for gold.
This past Saturday members of the South East Consortium
Sharks Swim team competed in the 2014 Stephen Sturgis Memorial Aquatics
Competitions.
The competition, held at White Plains High School, hosted
several swim clubs from around the area including North East, YWCA, White
Plains Park and Recreation and the Mamaroneck Star Fish.
The Sharks had been focusing on their freestyle, backstroke
and team relays at practice and it definitely showed this weekend. The team
took home 7 gold, 4 silver, 4 bronze and placed in every other event they were
entered in.
Additionally the two relay teams entered both came out of
the pool wearing gold for their efforts.
There was definitely some sore necks from all that hanging metal the
next day!
Every athlete improved their personal best times recorded at
practice. Some new comers to the event made a real splash. John MacAulay showed
up big time on Saturday motoring through the 50 free style with a time of
40:41. Zoe Smith’s debut was met with much success in the 25 Free and 25
backstroke.
Both South East Consortium’s relay teams flexed their muscle
cruising easily to first place in the 100 meter relay event. The relay teams
were comprised of Matthew Teator, Andrew Myers, Danny Maloney, Ryan Urquhart.
The second team was made up of Carly Horowitz, Nikita Afanasiev, JD Stiner and
John MacAulay.
The Sharks will be heading up to compete at West Point
Military Academy on April 26th.
