The Sully Station II Piranhas had an extraordinarily fun and busy week. It began with a terrific B meet on Monday, July 11 followed by the exciting NVSL Division 10 Relay Carnival two nights later. SS II capped the week by hosting Sleepy Hollow on Saturday, July 16 with their trademark spirit and camaraderie.
Relay Carnival is always a highlight of the season, and the older girls demonstrated true talent and depth by capturing four first place wins. The 13-14 girls combination of Delaney Kennedy, Liliana Glancy, Kelly Elson, and Faith Alston proved too powerful for their competition in both the free and medley relays. The 15-18 girls squad of Karenna Hall, Georgia Stamper, Carly Logan, and Caitlin Campbell were dominant with a 6 second win in the free relay and a 9 second win in the medley.
The fourth A meet of the season began with the traditional Piranha Pass to honor graduating senior Caitlin Campbell. The team showed their love and gratitude for her leadership and contributions in and out of the pool. SS II wishes Caitlin the best as she continues her swim career at York College and pursues a major in nursing.
Caitlin led the way during the meet once again with double victories in free (30.42) and back (34.19), joining five other Piranhas with two victories each. These swimmers included Ehma Stalfort in free (18.63) and fly (22.41), Simon Campbell in free (39.43) and fly (20.44), Angela Cai in breaststroke (39.56) and fly (34.22), Faith Alston in backstroke (34.81) and breaststroke (36.88), and Anthony Kang in a fingertip finish in free (29.40) and back (34.03).
Strong first place swims were turned in by AJ Sexton in freestyle (19.37), breaststrokers Jason Li (25.64), Caden Seng (53.87) and Hope Alston (43.15) and fly specialists Colin Brown (34.37) and Delaney Kennedy (34.71). Adding points to the board were Piranhas Payton Susko, Caroline Li, Madison Stalfort, Hannah Kang, Collin West, Jack Jiang, Carly Logan, Hayley Norris, Dorothy Cervarich, Brantley Cervarich, Kellen Campbell, Alyssa Seng, Mary Campbell, Emerson Saint Germain, Harrison Saint Germain, Charles Tai, Michael Jiang, Harmon Saint Germain, Ally Introne, and Cecilia Alquinta.
A special shout out goes to Isabella Ibrahim for swimming up in the 15-18 girls relay and securing the win with teammates Carly Logan, Ally Introne, and Hope Alston. Also showing heart and dedication by swimming up was Brooke Franconeri in both free and back as well as 9-year old Alyssa Norris who swam up two age groups in 13-14 breaststroke.
The Piranhas will travel to Fox Mill Woods for their last A meet of the season next Saturday, July 23.
