Swimmers end season on high note at State Championship Meet

Nicholas Young ’18, Elizabeth Geiger ’18, and Vanessa Weitzman ’18 led a strong showing by the Frassati Catholic swim team at the State Championship Meet Feb. 12-13 in San Antonio, placing in the top 10 in four events. Young set a personal record in the 200 IM, finishing 8 ^th, Geiger set her best time in the 100 Breaststroke, finishing 6 ^th, and Weitzman finished 6 ^th in the 100 Butterfly. Young also finished 8 ^th in the 100 Freestyle.

Both girls relay teams also recorded strong times, with the Girls Medley Relay team (Claire Kricfalusi ’17, Geiger ’18, Reagan Nicholson ’17, and Emma Okruhlik ’19) and the Girls 200 Freestyle Relay team (Mia Vassilakis ’19, Sara Mora Benitez ’19, Okruhlik ’19 and Weitzman ’18) placing 7 ^th.



“It was a great end to the year,” said Coach Stephen Schmidt. “The team made outstanding gains throughout the season, and everyone on the team was able to set a personal record. There were some amazing individual results throughout the year, as Nicholas Young, Elizabeth Geiger, and Vanessa Weitzman were able to step in as leaders and veterans. The team is young and spirited, and the freshmen were a large part of the team as it cements a culture of positivity and determination. Our two juniors, Claire Kricfalusi and Reagan Nicholson, joined and immediately stepped in as leaders on the team. Our most groundbreaking step this year was the presence of two strong girls relays, who competed well and broke new ground for Frassati Swimming. We hope to go forward and build off of a strong foundation next year.”
