Winter Season Wrapup: Swim and Dive

   Swim and Dive continued a very successful season with a great showing at Metros on Feb. 11. The boys finished as the best public school in the metropolitan area and the girls finished seventh overall. Senior Garrett Powell set multiple records and the girls side saw outstanding performances from senior diver Annie Kastler and sophomore Natsumi Horikawa.

   “I’ve been very happy with the season so far,” said head coach Jamie Grimes.

   Powell, along with junior captain Barry Mangold, has torn through the school’s record book, setting a combined five new team records this season.The girls side hasn’t been as successful, though they have had some standout performances from underclassmen to fill the void left after losing Sidney Drill and Elizabeth Pepper last season.

   “The boys team is the strongest it has been in years,” said senior captain Cara Machlin. “On the girls side, we lost a lot of strong swimmers last year, but a number of underclassmen stepped up and helped us have a successful season.”
