The cold weather didn’t slow down the Duxbury girls’ swim team, as they dunked Randolph and Scituate in a double header last week with the Lady Dragons tipping Randolph, 45-24, and winning 10 of 11 events. Freshman Avery Riddle led the charge by taking two blue ribbons in the 200-yard individual medley (2:30.72) and the 100-yard butterfly (1:09.66). Senior co-captain Gaby Pipp took care of business in the 100-yard freestyle, topping teammates Lindsay Currier and Anna McGeady. Krista Librett will go to the State Championships after zooming to a 1:07.63 qualifying time in the 100-yard backstroke, while Laura Husted posted a personal best in the 50-yard freestyle (27.53), nipping out Lindsay Jordan and Kelly Masgul. Veteran Molly Davis led a sweep of the 200-yard freestyle (2:16.18) with Husted in second and Haley Chatlin in third. In the 500-yard freestyle Alix Brady outdid teammates Chatlin and Mary Courtney Madigan to take the top spot. Duxbury won all three relays, as upper classmen, Kaitlin Buckley, Lauren Wilson, Katie Brasington and Katelyn Buckley cruised to a 2:17.22 win in the 200-yard medley relay, while Davis, Currier, McGeady and Emily Hutchinson edged out teammates Casey Walker, Laura Nelson, Buckley and Brasington in the 200-yard freestyle. Chatlin, Davis, Riddle and Husted teamed to win the 400-yard freestyle. In the Scituate/Cohasset meet, Duxbury came from behind to score a 100-87 victory on the road. The Lady Dragons got off to a rocky start, with Madigan, Wilson, Maddie Aglow and Hilary Dudley just missing the top spot in the 200-yard medley relay. However, the determination of several experienced swimmers brought Duxbury back in front and started with Sarah Goldberg winning the 200-yard freestyle by four seconds, followed closely by Coghlan and Chatlin. Buckley motored to first in the 200-yard individual medley, topping senior co-captain Pipp and Dudley in the event. Next up was Goldberg, who sprinted to a State qualifying time in the 50-yard freestyle, inching out Hutchinson and Husted. Even with a 43-35 lead, the Dragons could not relax. Sam Tougas, Kelly Masgul and Brady entered the diving competition with plans to take control, but were outdone by the competition and had to settle for third, fifth, and sixth. By the 100-yard butterfly, Duxbury needed to score some points, as the lead was only eight points. Riddle raced hard, but had to settle for second (1:09.81), while Brady and Dudley finished third and fourth, respectively. Senior co-captain Gaby Pipp took matters into her own hands and delivered a win in the 100-yard freestyle (59.50), touching out Hutchinson (second). Then, with the meet well in hand, Librett, Chatlin and Madigan swept the 500-yard freestyle. Duxbury went on to win the 200-yard freestyle relay (Husted, Davis, Pipp and Coghlan), the 100-yard backstroke (Buckley), and the 100-yard breaststroke (Kassie Sweeney).  Buckley, Riddle, Hutchinson and Pipp teamed to win the 400-yard freestyle in 4:01.68. “We have worked hard all season, and our 9-1 record is a signal that we are ready for the post-season,†said Coach Jay Craft. Duxbury should have a strong showing at the League Diving Championship on Thursday at Middleboro High School (3:30 p.m.) and the League Swimming Championship on Saturday (1:30 p.m.) at the Hancock Pool in Quincy. |
