BOY'S SWIMMING TAKES ON CORNWALL

By JOEY DELGARDO

JOEY DELGARDO FOR WIZARD WEEKLY

The Washingtonville Wizard swim team had a meet on Tuesday, December 20th at Cornwall High School. I had a chance to talk to the boys before the meet began about the impending competition.  

When asked if the boys would be able to redeem themselves after coming off a loss, Captain Nate Sorenson replied, “I think we’re going to win today despite the fact that we’re missing a number of teammates due to injuries.”  Also according to Nate, “the team is looking good, going into this meet, even with a majority of injuries.”  Nate’s confidence surely paid off.


At the end of the meet, the results were clear as our boy’s swim team proudly defeated Cornwall  with an impressive score of 102-86. Three of the talented swimmers who contributed to the victory were Owen Rowlands, Andrew Smolar, and D.J. Quinones.  Owen came in first in the 200 meter and 100 meter backstroke; Andrew came in second in the 200 freestyle, 500 freestyle, 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay; and DJ placed first in the 50 meter freestyle and the 100 meter freestyle.  

Moving forward in the season, the boys are looking strong and have the opportunity to win the rest of their meets and be a top team in the section.  The boys take on Rhinebeck on Thursday, December 22nd.  Best of luck to them on Thursday and the rest of the season!
