Swimming v. Deerfield Academy

The Eagles faced Deerfield’s JV swim team on Wednesday, January 13th, 2010. The Eagles started off with a bang, wining the 200 Medley Relay: Anna Worcester (backstroke), Junbeom Ku (breastroke), Brandon Wu (butterfly), and Sam Brown anchoring the relay (freestyle). The swimmer of the meet was RJ Finlay, who swam best times in the 200 Freestyle and 100 Freestyle. He even became a member of the sub 1:00 club in the 100 free, going 58.76! Augie Morris and Thomas Ferguson backed Finlay up in the 100 free, finishing 2nd and 4th, each with best times, too. The 50 Free was another strong event; the Eagles placed 1st , Kevin Fong, 2nd- John Miller, and 3rd, Ted Kim. Kevin Fong dropped two seconds on his 50, going 26.96. Sam Prout debuted the 100 Fly swimming 1:02.42, placing 1st. David Cho won the 500 free, holding a strong, steady pace. Another highlight was Henry Chou’s first leg of the 200 Freestyle Relay, 26.24. And our captains Ellison Taylor and Dong Gi Park both won the 100 Backstroke and 100 Breaststroke. Overall, the Eagles had strong races and performed well. We look forward to seeing more stellar competition this winter.
