Eagles+Continue+to+Soar+at+2012+State+Meet

The Windham Boys continued to shine and set new benchmarks for the program at the Boys Class A State Championship on Tuesday, 2/21. The Boys finished 6th overall, had 10 season-best swims, set three more team records, and won their first ever individual event State Championship. Several observers noted that this may have been the fastest Boys State Championship meet in years with very fast times and highly contested races. 6 of the 8 individual events were decided by fractions. Nick Sundquist won the 100 Free Style (47.69, just 0.3 sec off Ian Crocker's meet record) taking home Windham Swimming and Diving's first individual event State Championship. During the evening he set three team records (200 Free, 100 Free, and 50 Free). Sundquist also finished 2nd in the 200 Free. Joseph Paluso had another amazing evening with two Championship Finals swims. Paluso finished with a 2nd Place and personal best in the 500 Free, then turned around a few short events later and finished 7th in the 100 Breast. The Frosh Flyer put an exclamation point on a superb first season with the Eagles. Alexander Gilvey continued his strong senior season and the point parade for the Eagles with Championship Finals swims in the 200 IM and the 100 Back. Alexander had very good swims finishing 6th in the 200 IM (2:08.75) and 7th in the 100 Back (58.34). Cole Moran extended his late season surge and made the Consolation Finals in both the 200 IM (16th Place) and the 100 Breast (12th Place). Lyle Webster capped a terrific freshman season with a personal best 4:46.82 in the 500 Free Consolation Finals. The Windham Boys also had two Championship Finals relay teams. The 200 Free Relay quartet of Sundquist, Dan Sepulveda, Gilvey, and Paluso finished a very strong 3rd, several positions above their seed, and had a season-best time of 1:35.03. The 400 Free Relay foursome of Gilvey, Joseph Mycock, Paluso, and Sundquist also had a 5th Place finish.
