The Third Annual Saint Andrew's School September Splash was a great testament to resilience - fittingly our school theme for the year. Alternating between waves of rain and scorching heat/humidity, all of our timers, officials and admin personnel were well challenged without even stepping on a block. Grand kudos are due all who helped stage an incredible meet that finished ahead of an aggressive timeline and provided our young swimmers and divers with a great early season opportunity to grow. 584 athletes participated in the largest single session event in the history of the Duff Tyler Aquatic Complex and our coaching staff extends great thanks to a wonderful group of volunteer parents who pulled it off!
The quality of the meet itself continues to escalate with new teams like Pine Crest and Martin County joining traditional Palm Beach County powerhouse teams like Jupiter, Suncoast and Boca. When the last wave had quelled in the pool, our SAS girls found themselves ranked 4th (out of 18 schools participating) and our boys team earned the third place team plaque.
The Aqua-Scots accounted for three new meet records amidst a day full of exciting races and top caliber diving. Our boys 200-yard freestyle relay of Wali Toulson (22.12), Filippo Sella (23.42), Greg Norton (23.08) and Quinn Cassidy (23.18) shaved more than three seconds off the old record posting a 1:31.80. Quinn also topped the field and notched a new meet record in the 200-yard Individual Medley (2:00.68). 7th-grade sensation Megan Moroney served notice that she is ready to do some winning this year with a meet record-breaking victory in the 100-yard butterfly (59.68). Top ten team scores are listed below and complete meet results from the Splash are available here.
The Scots will put their undefeated dual meet records on the line against the always tough Gulliver Prep squad at "the Duff" on Wednesday afternoon (9/30) at 4pm
