Westminster Defeats Northfield
The Westminster Boys Team came alive against Northfield Mount Hermon, swimming incredible races all afternoon including a fantastic finish in the final relay to win the meet, 92-87. Despite the Martlets being considerably out-numbered by the NMH boys, they were able to win 9 of the 12 events including all three relays. It was an enormous victory for Westminster - their first win over NMH in recent memory.
The 200 Medley Relay team of Andrew Shult '06, Ryan McLaughlin '08, Peter Williams '07, and Andrew Sieber '06 kicked things off in the fast lane, winning easily with some impressive splits. Later, the 200 Free Relay team of Shult, Sieber, Michael FIsher '08, and Steve Cosme '06 cranked in for the win and finished only 4 hundredths of a second shy of the school and pool record.
In what could be the most exciting event of the season thus far, and with the meet on the line, the 400 Relay team of McLaughlin, Williams, Fisher, and Cosme "protected the house" in pool record time (3:25.43), only 7 hundredths off the school record pace. The Martlets had some clutch individual performances, tallying 23 lifetime best swims out of 35 races.
The competition featured a showdown between two of the top 100 Freestylers in all of New England, won by Westminster's own Steve Cosme, who lowered his own school and pool records in that event (48.82). Fisher, Shult, and Sieber all significantly bested their 50 Freestyle times; Fisher also teamed up with Shult for a 1-2 two finish and a best time in the 100 Backstroke. Foster Baker '09 swam best times in 3 events including a 3-second drop in his 100 Back.
Williams swam an amazing 50 fly split in the Medley Relay (24.72), won the 200 IM and the 100 Fly with a best time in the latter. Chris Ribaudo '06 also had a personal-best in the fly leg of the Medley Relay, then had a best time in the 500 Freestyle. McLaughlin swam an impressive 500 also and led off the 400 Free Relay with a best time in the 100 Free.
Framroz Bankwalla '08 came up big in the 100 Breaststroke when the Martlets needed it most, shaving 3 seconds off his best time for a 4th place finish. With 3 dual meets remaining before the championship weekends, the Westminster Boys are alive and ready to take on anyone!
