On Tuesday, September 3, the swim teams faced off against Steinbrenner, Jesuit, and Academy in what turned out to be a memorable night in the pool. Both teams left it all on the field, with the girls’ squad making school history.
The girls’ team defeated Academy for the first time in school history, a milestone moment that sent waves of excitement through the entire program. From powerful swims in the relays to strong individual finishes, the girls came together in a way that showed their depth, resilience, and determination. Their victory marks a new chapter for the team and sets the tone for the rest of the season.
On the boy’s side, the match against Jesuit was highly competitive. Team Captain Konrad Paradies shared his perspective before the race, saying, “I think the Jesuit/Academy meet will be a close one. I think Jesuit has the favor, but you never know what might happen.”
His words proved to be true, as the competition was intense from start to finish. The Jesuit team edged out the boys’ team, but the effort and fight from the swimmers stood out as a sign of promise for the rest of the season.
Though the boys fell short and the girls made history, the Sept 3 meet showed the strength, spirit, and growth of the program. With momentum building and more opportunities ahead, both teams are poised for an exciting season in the pool.
