New England Prep School Swim Championships

EBS Swim team’s top ten swimmers attended the NE Prep School Swim championship at Phillips Exeter Academy March 5. They were: Jared Armes '11, Larsen Bidsrup '11, David Cho '11, Henry Chou '11, Thomas Ferguson '12, RJ Finlay '12, Ryan Kim '11, Phon Leeswadrakul '12, Yuki Sato '11, and last but by far not least, Brandon Wu '12. David Cho got his goal of :55 in the 100 fly, which broke Mikey Louis-Fernand's '05 record, 11th place over all and made consolation finals. Larsen Bidstrup surprised himself again by demolishing Chris Pielock's '06 200 IM record with a 2:09, and made consolation finals in the 100 Back earning 13th place overall. RJ Finlay broke 2 minutes in the 200 Free and Jared Armes obtained his season long goal by breaking 1 minute in the 100 free. The 400 free relay team of Bidstrup, Chou, Finlay, and Cho, broke their own record again for the 4th time this season, but this time by 3 more seconds with a 3:32. All had a great time and swam well-no DQ's and all but one swim was a personal best. We had the chance to visit with some Eaglebrook alumni: Auggie Morris '10 -Westminster, Alex Porter '09 and Sam Prout '10-Suffield, Ellison Taylor '10- Choate, Michael Yang '08, Jamie Pielock '08, Wilson Wang '09, and Ben Wood '09-Deerfield, all there to participate in the meet. We also had the pleasure of Kevin Carroll '08, fresh from the Eastern High School Swim Championships, assisting coaches Bo and Kulik on the pool deck for the meet. Kevin will be attending The University of Southern California in the fall and will be swimming for the Trojan's team.
