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.
