Swimming v. Suffield Academy

The hardest working team at Eaglebrook, the Varsity swimming team, opened the 2017-2018 season with a big win against the Suffield Academy JV swimming team. This year, the team has great expectations, after a third-place finish at the Bud Erich Championships last year. The 2017-2018 squad is led by a strong group of Sixth Formers: Tim Barry, Qais Hijazi, Felix Tsao, Andrew Chang, Jason Lee, and the newly elected captains: Jeff Lim, Sean Meng, and Jack Sun. The Brookies dominated the meet, sweeping all events, except the diving event, which was more of an exhibition for the Suffield girls divers. There were many outstanding performances by veterans Kevin Chang, James Chen, and Henry Wiemeyer, and by new team members Alex Ahmed, Thomas and David Bowers, Hudson McGuinness, Michael Xu, Jonathon Ji, Ohm Poonsornsiri, William Situ, Orlando Doull, Gary Liu, and David Porter. The team will be training intensely during the last week of the year, then upon returning after the new year, the Eaglebrook squad swims against the Andover JV team, most likely their most challenging dual meet of the season.
