The Amity girls’ swimming team
swam to a second place finish in the
Southern Connecticut Conference
Championship tournament.
Cheshire finished first during the
SCC championships. The most outstanding
swimmer during the SCC
championships was Amity’s Dana
Chung.
“I’m very pleased with the team
this season. I’ve been impressed with
how our girls have all pitched in and
contributed,” said James Todd Rainey,
who is the head swim coach. “It’s
been a total team effort all season and
the depth brought by having that kind
of attitude has been the biggest reason
for our success.”
“Our seniors have definitely provided
leadership and the younger girls
have picked up on their cues and progressed
a great deal,” added Rainey.
Coming out of the SCC meet,
Amity had All-SCC performances
from Madeline Snow, Olivia Smith,
Maggie Lasto, Megan Lasto, Jessica
Kochiss, along with swimmer of the
meet, Chung.
“These are the girls that we will be
looking to for leadership as we take a
team of 20 girls into the Class “LL”
Championships,” Rainey said.
During the regular season against
Daniel Hand High School, Amity had
“great performances” by Chung in the
200 Freestyle, Sydney Formica in the
50 Freestyle, Kiley Saxa in Diving
and Smith in the 100 Butterfly. All
turned in season best times, said
Rainey.
Against Sacred Heart, the girls
continued to lower their season best
times, Rainey said. Delivering this
time were Snow with victory in the
200 Freestyle, Lydia Pokluda in the
50 Freestyle, Kaitlin Merriam in Diving,
Brittany Smith in the 100 Butterfly,
Lauren Perrone in the 500
Freestyle, Katie Jensen in the 100
Backstroke, and Natalie Ambrosey in
the 100 Breaststroke.
