Thursday afternoon, Carlmont’s swim
team won their third league meet of the season against Woodside High School.
The swimming Scots kicked this
season off with another great start and are now tied for first in the Peninsula
Athletic League.
Carlmont did exceptionally well
against Woodside’s fierce completion, coming out of the meet with wins for all
four teams.
The most anticipated race was by
far the relays, which proved to be the most exciting and completive of all
events on Thursday.
The most intense of these races was
the girls’ junior varsity 4 by 50 meter B team race, comprised of Marissa King,
Hannah Carney, Hallie Frietas, and Kaitlyn McGrath. These four girls swam their
hearts out and beat the A team’s time by one second.
Sarah Fecher, a sophomore on the
junior varsity team, commented about the meet saying that, “[The Scots] are
doing really well. We win most of the time, and I think we improved a lot from
last year.”
This year the swim team coach, Jim
Kelly, the activities director and a math teacher at Carlmont, has stepped up
the workouts that the swimmers do. To insure physical aptitude, Kelly has his
team swimming 5,000 meters per day.
However, with PAL just around the
corner, Fecher has informed us that their team will soon be tapering their
workouts so that they do not burn out for the tough competition ahead.
