Season Opener Comes Down to the Wire
The boys kicked off the 2017-18 season with a close match up against St. George's at home. After falling behind early, the team clawed its way back into contention and drew within three points, but came up just short in the final relay and St. George's got the win. The meet began with a second-place finish in the 200 Medley Relay by Hudson Stedman '21, co-captain Matt Norris '19, Layton Harmon '21 and co-captain Albert Gao '18. Kieran Haug 21 and Emmett de Kanter '19 took third and fourth, respectively, in the 200 Freestyle, both with excellent swims. Stedman and Harmon also finished third and fourth in the 200 IM. Liam Seeley '20 and Justin Schuster '19 took third and fourth in the 50 Free, and at the diving break the Martlets were down almost 20 points. Westminster began closing the gap when Hayden Cathcart '18 won the diving contest and Norris won the 100 Fly. Gao won the 100 Free, with de Kanter third and co-captain Teagan Stedman ’18 fourth. Norris and Haug then provided a 1-2 punch in the 500 Free, and the Martlets finished second and third in the 200 Freestyle Relay. Gao and Hudson Stedman took second and third in the 100 Backstroke and Eddie Shin '21 took third in the 100 Breaststroke. The 400 Free Relay team of de Kanter, Norris, Hudson Stedman and Gao took first to pull to within three points, but St. George's second place finish was enough to keep the lead. Other great swims were turned in by Seeley (100 Free), J-C Lane ’21 (50 Free, 100 Back), and Grant McCargo (50 Free). It was a thrilling contest and equally exciting was the number of new and talented athletes competing for the Westminster Swimming and Diving Team for the first time.
