Bulldogs slip past Celts in pool
helps us compete.”
Junior Jake Wyer had gener-
ally the same assessment for the
boys.
“I think it went really great
(against West Albany), and we
did well as a group with every-
one doing their best,” he said.
“It’s been awesome to have a
lot of new swimmers come out
this season, but we all still have
room to improve.”
Head Coach Casey Lewin
singled out Wyer for his rapid
growth since his sophomore
season.
“He is in a great place to get
faster in his 50 free and the 100
free,” Lewin said.
For the girls, Lewin already
has high hopes for freshman
Emily Alger.
“She is in the high 28s for
her 50 freestyle. That’s a good
place to be, and she’s not a club
swimmer,” Lewin said.
In girls races at the West
Albany meet: Marissa Kuch
won the 200 individual med-
ley (IM) in 2:17.11; Sarah Eck-
ert won the 100 butterfly in
1:06.54; Abby McCoy won the
100 freestyle in 1:04.39; Em-
ily Alger, McCoy, Kiana Brio-
nes and Marissa Kuch won the
200 free relay in 1:51.40; and
Kuch won the 100 breastroke
in 1:12.56.
“I’m trying to get a 27 in
the 50 free and under a minute
in the 100 free. My focus is on
the 100 free right now,” Mc-
Coy said.
Second place finishers for
the girls were: McCoy, Brio-
nes, Eckert and Kuch in the
200 medley relay; Eckert in the
200 freestyle; Alger in the 50
freestyle; Hannah Corpe in the
100 freestyle; Lizzie Bryant in
the 100 backstroke; and Haley
Debban, Bryant, Corpe and
Eckert in the 400 free relay.
The boys fared quite a bit
better than a week prior. They
picked up two race wins and at
least a second place finish in all
but two races.
J.Wyer scored the team’s
first race win in the 100 free-
style in 57.41. He was also part
of a winning 200 freestyle re-
lay team that included Harri-
son Vaughn, Grant Biondi and
Parker Dean, their time was
1:44.95.
“I’m really trying to get the
100 free time down to about
55 (seconds),” Wyer said.
Second place finishers were:
J. Wyer, Vaughn, Brock Wyer
and Grant Biondi in the 200
medley relay; Isaiah Holt in the
200 free; Biondi in the 200 IM;
J. Wyer in the 50 free; J. Wyer

in the 100 freestyle; Georgio
Corrieri in the 100 backstroke;
Vaughn in the 100 breststroke;
and Holt, Alex Sharabin, Bryce
Looney and J. Wyer in the 400
free relay.
Lewin said he hoped to see
the team bring a little more fo-
cus to practice.
“The biggest thing is just
being more consistent in tech-
nique, sometimes we get a little
bit tired and it shows up in the
strokes in the pool,” Lewin said.

The McNary High School
varsity swimming teams had a
pair of narrow misses in a meet
with West Albany High School
Thursday, Dec. 10.
The Lady Celts were edged,
just barely, in a 89-81 loss. The
boys were a bit father behind
the Bulldogs with a 91-74 final
score.
While meet wins have elud-
ed the team in the first two
weeks of the season, junior
Abby McCoy said there’s still
been plenty of improvement
on the girls’ side of the events.
“Seeing how we’ve com-
peted so far has given us extra
confidence,” McCoy said. “A
lot of the girls that are new this
year already knew people on
the team and that’s made us a
tighter group in the pool. We
have a lot more love and sup-
port for each other and that
