Westminster Endures Another Short-Handed Loss
Battling illness and injury, the Martlets swam fast and hung around late into the meet against a strong Kingswood team, but they gave up the lead at the 200 freestyle relay and couldn't recover despite winning the final race. At the start, the team of Max Larock '22, Eddie Shin '21, co-captain Matt Norris '19 and Jason Shi '21 won the 200 medley relay, and Larock turned around and won the 200 freestyle moments later, with Kieran Haug '21 in third. Hudson Stedman '21 had a big day, swimming lifetime bests in all his races and winning the 200 IM in a close race against his former teammate. Shi took second in the 50 freestyle with a near-best time, and Layton Harmon '21, who had been sidelined with an injury since December, swam his first race in weeks, placing third. The boys led by two points heading into the diving break, but with no Martlet divers KO earned 10 unanswered points to go up by eight. Norris won the 100 fly, with Stedman third (another best time), and Shi and Harmon took first and second, respectively, in the 100 free. Norris won the 500 free, with Haug fourth, and the Martlets had the meet tied with four events to go. KO then took first and third in the 200 free relay, and even though Larock won the 100 backstroke and J-C Lane '21 took third, the Martlets couldn't make up the difference. KO went 1-2 in the 100 breaststroke, with Shin third, and the team of Stedman, Norris, Shi and Larock won the 400 free relay. Despite the loss, there was nothing to complain about. The boys swam well, especially for having come off nine grueling workouts in Florida over the long weekend. Best times were swum by Lane (200 IM, 100 free), Jeevan Palaniyandi '19 (50 free, 100 free), Shi (100 free), Stedman (200 IM, 50 free, 100 fly, 100 free), Grant McCargo '21 (100 free) and David DeFronzo '19 (100 backstroke). The boys are in action next on Senior Day at home on Feb. 16 vs. Hopkins and AOF.
