(Jan. 14, 2010)The girls and boys swimming and diving teams swept Coyle Cassidy in the first home dual meet of the season Saturday afternoon. The boys won 88-73 and improved to a perfect 3-0 this season, while the girls won 99-68 and improved to 2-1.
Also this weekend, at the fourth annual Cape Cod Classic, the girls placed second out of three teams, tallying 79 points, finishing behind powerhouse Barnstable (167) and in front of Nauset (60). The boys finished third out of four with 65 points, trailing Sandwich (164) and Nauset (70), but in front of Barnstable (31).
Back in action for the first time since before the winter break, the Whalers responded with solid swims across the board this week. The girls’ team posted three additional postseason qualifying times. The Whalers qualified for the South/Central Sectionals in the 400-yard freestyle relay (4:12.83) and with the medley relay and the 200-yard freestyle relay already qualified, will now have full representation at the event in February.
