The boys relay teams swept in all three relay events, earning all first places. Another boys relay scored second along with the first place in the 400 free relay.

“We definitely improved on relays,” said Senior Chase Maceno, “and we still need to work on it though.”

Double first places went to Blake Slobodnik (200 and 500 free), Austin Quinn (50 and 100 free) , Collin Rhoades (100 butterfly and 100 backstroke), and Ben McConnell (200 IM and 100 breast).

“The boys were outnumbered, but pulled through with lots firsts and seconds,” said Getz.

Bishop Guilfoyle swimmers McConnell and Slobodnik improved in both of their individual events. Matthew Beam bestes nine seconds in his 500 free time. In the 100 butterfly, Rhoades dropped two seconds while Sergio Slobodnik dropped six seconds from his last time.  Bryce Bauer improved in the 100 back by three seconds.

“The boys and girls team did amazing!” M. Beam said about the meet.

Even though the team is improving, there are still things that can still be perfected.

“The little stuff was very much improved. It was better than before,” said Getz. “We still need to work on little things more and getting into race shape from after the break.”
