Gianmichel D'Allessandro, in the green cap, prepares to dive in for his school record-setting swim in the 50-yard freestyle. His time of 21.69 was a new school record at South Lakes High School, and he was among a team of winners at this years' VHSL State Championships, Feb. 16-17 at George Mason University. Other notable feats at the competition included freshman Anna Redican, who took second in the 100-yard backstroke with a school record time of 55.71; Michael George, who took seventh with a new school record time of 58.08 in the 100-yard breaststroke; and a fourth place finish in the 500-yard freestyle for junior Jack Edgemond. This season marks the last for Coach Scott Brown after coaching the team for 23 years.
