The boys’ swim team is still perfect with a 7-0 record after sweeping three meets last week that started with a 102-63 win over Barnstable. Three swimmers were double event winners, as Hunter Chaisson aced the 200-yard freestyle in a State qualifying time of 1:57.00, five seconds ahead of Art Su (2nd). The senior co-captain also stroked his way to a win in the 100-yard backstroke (58.00) to beat Ike Fontaine (2nd) and Ben Zelvis (3rd). Bernardo Neves got in on the funk, making a Sectional cut in the 200-yard individual medley (2:16.29), nosing out Cam Crowell and Lucas Wojciekowski. The Brazilian barracuda also touched out Crowell in the 500-yard freestyle after swimming stroke for stroke for 20 laps. Ben Potash was fourth in the event. Barry Su sprinted to two victories, taking first in the 50-yard freestyle over Drew Husted and Drew Cooper. Su also splashed to first in the 100-yard freestyle (54.88), nipping Pat Sullivan and Chris Kimball. Jon Ng was never challenged in the 100-yard butterfly, as he cruised to a win (1:00.87), and Art Su won the 100-yard breaststroke in a tight race over senior co-captain Andrew Summer and Wojciekowski. Duxbury motored to wins in the 200-yard medley relay with Chaisson, Barry Su, Ng and Art Su, while Ng, White, Wojciekowski, and Crowell won the 200-yard freestyle by three seconds. Chaisson, Crowell, Art Su and Neves teamed to win the 400-yard freestyle. A day after their victory on the Cape, the Dragons traveled to Pembroke where they won every event in 65-50 win. Crowell was double trouble, stopping Pembroke in the 200-yard individual medley (2:15.40) and coasting to first in the 100-yard butterfly (1:01.03) over Brendan Davidson and Zelvis. White provided valuable points in the 500-yard freestyle, outlasting Ng and Potash, while also cruising to the wall first in the 100-yard backstroke (1:08.97) in a personal-best time. In other individual events Sullivan touched first for the win in the 100-yard freestyle ahead of Andrew Gilmore and John Shayne. Husted zipped to first in the 200-yard freestyle, while Jason Lijewski sprinted to the wall (27.25) in the 50-yard freestyle, just touching out Jeff Terizzi (27.75). Zelvis won the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:18.09. Ian White won the diving competition scoring 123.73 points. Duxbury relays continued to do their job, as Husted, Art Su, Barry Su and White won the 400-yard freestyle relay by a whopping 27 seconds. However, it wasn’t as easy for White, Wojciekowski, Davidson and Art Su, who had to swim up to edge out Crowell, Zelvis, Ng and Terizzi by a half second. Crowell, Husted, Art Su and Ng combined to win the 200-yard freestyle relay. The Dragons came home to meet Quincy/North Quincy on Thursday and left little doubt that they were the league leader. Getting off to a fast start, the Dragons held a 46-point lead by the sixth event and cruised to a 93-73 win. Even after a grueling week, Neves continues to turn heads, as he burned yet another personal best (51.12) in the 100-yard freestyle, and dusted the field in the 200-yard freestyle (1:55.72) with Barry Su taking second and White placing third. Crowell just missed the state cut by a mere 9/100 of a second in the 500-yard freestyle, winning the event over Ng and Potash. White got his blue ribbon in the 100-yard backstroke (1:09.16), nipping out Davidson and Sullivan. The 200-yard individual medley featured a horserace between Art Su and Ng, as the two raced stroke for stroke to a photo finish. When the splashing stopped, it was Su by 4/10 of a second, with Potash in third. Wojciekowski zoomed to a State qualifying time in the 100-yard butterfly (58.34), while Chaisson matched it with his fourth state cut in the 100-yard breaststroke (1:06.25). Husted was the top finisher in the 50-yard freestyle over Cooper and John Shayne. Chaisson, Sommer, Ng, and Neves outdid their previous best in the 200-yard medley relay (1:50.33) to win the event, with White, Duncan Edgar, Ng and Husted topping the field in the 400-yard freestyle relay. After a week of well deserved rest, the Dragons travel to Randolph on Tuesday, before coming home on Thursday to host an always tough BC High squad. |
