Varsity Swimming/Diving vs. VIC Championships
May 27, 2011
After rescheduling due to weather concerns, the Hargrave Tigers went to Roanoke on the evening of Friday, 9 February and won the Virginia Independant Conference (VIC) swimming championships for the 3rd consecutive year by a wide margin. There were some outstanding swims with personal bests by Drew Bennett, swimming the 100 Free in 52.92; Rohan Johnson, swimming the 100 Free in a very exciting race with a time of 49.84; Pat Martelli, swimming the 200 IM in 2:04.38, and Steven Gasparis, who set a new VIC record in the 200 Free with a time of 1:47.34! Our boy's 200 Free Relay team of Pat Martelli, Ryan Inwood, Steven Gasparis and Rohan Johnson also set a new conference record when they won with a time of 1:31.99! Way to go Tigers!
Varsity Swimming/Diving vs. GWHS/Franklin Cty/EC Glass/Halifax/Patrick Henry/VES
May 27, 2011
Hargrave Varsity Boy's Swimming advanced to a record of 12-1 with this very unusual 7-way meet between public and private schools. We posted many very good times and won first and second place in nearly every event. There were some outstanding swims by Drew Bennett, Ryan Inwood, Pat Martelli, Rohan Johnson, and Steven Gasparis, who, in addition to great individual performances just coming off of a two week break, were also the standout swimmers in all of our relays. Nearly everyone on the team contributed to pulling in some team points. We can only get better once we get back to the daily practice routine and begin to focus on conference and state competition.
