Relay Breaks School Record on Senior Day

The team hosted Kingswood in an exciting contest between two strong teams on Senior Day at Hibbard Pool. The afternoon began with a high-energy battle in the 200 medley relay which came down to the final yards as Layton Harmon '21 raced in for the win, touching out the Wyvern relay by less than a half second. Both teams broke their respective school records in that race, and the Westminster team of Max Larock '22, Eddie Shin '21, Jason Shi '21 and Harmon set a new mark of 1:42.40, beating the previous record of 1:42.69 held by Henry Chou, Toby Casper, Travis Percy and Tom Dudzik since 2014. Larock was back in the water for the 200 free moments later, finishing second. Co-captain Hudson Stedman '21 won the 200 IM in come-from-behind fashion with his best time yet this year, Harmon won the 50 free with Owen Huang '23 and Shin in third and fourth, respectively. Leo Kolomeiskii '21 took second in the diving event, and Shi won the 100 fly. Harmon took first in the 100 free with his best time ever, and Stedman and Kieran Haug '21 finished first and third, respectively, in the 500 freestyle. Shin, Alvin Zhang '23, Haug and Huang took second in the 200 freestyle relay, and Larock and Mason Zottola '23 finished second and fourth in the 100 backstroke race. Shin and Zhang finished second and third, respectively, in the 100 breaststroke, with Spence Kwan '22 in fifth, and the team of Huang, Shi, Harmon and Larock took second in the 400 freestyle relay. Other strong swims were co-captain Daniel Pinckney '20, the lone Sixth Former on the boys' team, swimming season-best times in the 200 IM and the 100 fly, and Kwan, who swam lifetime bests in the 200 IM and the 100 breaststroke. Zhang also swam a great IM race. Justin Shi '21 got best times in the 100 fly and 200 free, and J-C Lane '21 did a great job in his first attempt at the 500 free. The team was fast today and swam with grit in their home pool despite the accumulated fatigue of difficult workouts over the long weekend in Florida. The team will host a clinic for local age group swimmers Saturday, taking them through circuit stations and providing instruction.
