Eagles+Fly+at+2012+New+Englands

Windham Swimming and Diving continues to raise the bar and set new standards for the program. At the New England Swimming Championships on Saturday, March 3 at Bates College, the Eagles swam to four 1st Place finishes, several more top 3 finishes, and a handful of season-best times. That's eight New England event Championships in the last three seasons!

Nick Sundquist won the 200 Free and 100 Free becoming Windham's first New England Championship individual event double winner.

Joseph Paluso put the ultimate exclamation point on his great frosh campaign with a 1st Place in the 500 Free.

The Eagles have a tradition of great relay teams and stellar relay performances at the championship meets. This year's team did not disappoint as the quartet of Sundquist, Daniel Sepulveda, Alexander Gilvey, and Paluso won the 200 Free Relay in a season-best time (1:34.35).

Gilvey, an Eagle stalwart for the last four years, came up big in his last swims for Windham. Alexander had an excellent day with Top 3 finishes, and personal best times, in the 200 IM and 100 Back.

Elaine Miller closed out her stellar WHS career with two 3rd Place finishes in the 50 Free and 100 Free. The 3rd Place finishes for Miller marks the highest places ever for the Lady Eagles at the New Englands.

Windham also had great swims from Joe Mycock and Lyle Webster. Mycock swam well in both the 200 IM and 100 Back, and had his best split ever in his leg of the 400 Free Relay. Webster, another frosh that much was expected of and he managed to exceed those expectations, finished the season with strong swims in both the 200 IM and 500 Free. Both these swimmers are back and will be key parts of a very strong team next season.

The foursome of Gilvey, Mycock, Paluso, and Sundquist closed out the meet with an excellent 400 Free Relay swim, a season-best 3:32.05, good for a 3rd Place.
