Boys’ and Girls’ varsity and JV swimming and diving had an incredible final regular season meet versus Exeter on Saturday afternoon in the Christopher Lynn ‘66 pool. The boys won their 20th consecutive head-to-head versus Exeter, and the girls shone with one of the best outings yet versus a strong Big Red girls’ team, falling just short. In addition, the JV boys secured a 118-45 win, and the JV girls won 104.74.
On the boys’ side, senior captain Oliver Stabach set a new A/E meet record in the 200 free, as did Lincoln Tomlinson ‘27 in the 100 free. In the 200 free relay, Lincoln, Jay Wei, Cale Barker, and Oliver broke both the A/E record and the pool record with an impressive 1:22.43.
On the girls’ side, Hannah Song and Aimee Qi finished 1-2 in the 200 free, with Song also ahead of the rest in the 500. Upper Chloe Ru finished first in the 200 IM. Katherine Feng out-touched her Exeter opponent to win the 100 butterfly. Varsity divers Karla Safarikova and Carolyn Bressler finished 1-2, and JV divers Hayley Fan and Destiny Zhuwao secured the top two spots in the JV meet as well. David Frahm finished in second behind a talented Exeter diver on the day. Thank you to our coaches, David Fox, Hillary Kavanagh, David Gardner, Catherine Carter, Belinda Wolf, Eliot Davenport, and Maya Darville, as well as our meet timers: Meghan Clarke (meet manager), Lakshmi Jai, and Yiqi Guo.
On Saturday afternoon, lower Jules Stevenson broke the 1,000-point mark in only her third year of high school basketball, entering Andover as a repeat ninth-grader. Jules is only the third girls’ player to do so in the program’s history and the first player, male or female, to do so in their third year of high school competition.
