Larock Wins Founders League Title
Westminster traveled to Hotchkiss Feb. 23 for the Founders League Championships and did not disappoint in its quest to establish itself as a team to watch in the coming years. Third Former Max Larock firmly made that point as he became Westminster's first Founders League Champion since 2012 as he won the 100 back in a lifetime best time. Also in the medals was co-captain Matt Norris '19, who pulled in a second-place finish with a great swim in the 500 freestyle; and Jason Shi '21, who swam an incredible 100 fly to finish third, with Norris in fifth. Hudson Stedman '21 shaved five seconds off his 200 IM to finish sixth; he also dropped two seconds in the 100 fly to place 12th. In the opening race, the team of Larock, Eddie Shin '21, Norris and Shi placed fourth in the 200-medley relay with their best time this season, with Stedman swimming a PR in the 50 back leading off the B relay. Larock then finished fourth in the 200 free with an in-season best, followed by co-captain Emmett de Kanter '19 (15th) and Kieran Haug '21, who both swam season-best times. J-C Lane '21 added a best time in the 200 IM, and Shi broke the 23-second mark for the first time to place seventh in the 50 freestyle, with Layton Harmon '21 placing 15th. Harmon added a lifetime best in the 100 free to finish 10th, with de Kanter in 14th with his season-best time, and Grant McCargo '21 ventured below the minute-mark for the first time. David DeFronzo '19 added his season-best time in the 100 free, and Jeevan Palaniyandi '19 swam a lifetime best in his final race in the Black and Gold. Haug swam a lifetime best in the 500 free to place seventh in a great race, and the 200 free relay team of Larock, Shin, Harmon and Shi placed fourth with a quick time. Lane finished 16th in the 100 backstroke to snatch a point with a personal best, while DeFronzo dropped more than a second off his best time as well. Shin placed 14th in the 100 breast, and the 400 free relay team of Stedman, de Kanter, Norris and Harmon swam their best time this season to finish sixth. Overall, it was a good day for the boys, and with one more week of rest and focus they will be primed to swim even faster at New Englands at Wesleyan University. Great job, boys!
