Metros finish memorable Swim season

Seniors Alina Hall and Angus MacDonald earned third place finishes at the Washington “Metros” to pace the Cardinals to top half finishes (11th boys, 13th girls) to close the 2009-10, one of the most exciting in years.  Coach John Gullickson’s swimmers broke school records in 8 races, leaving a legacy of five new standards for the Alexandria school.

Ireton saw records fall in the men’s 100 yard freestyle, 100 yard butterfly and back strokes by MacDonald, while the men’s 200 and 400 free style relays set marks in those events. The women’s 200 medley relay posted a record time for the Cardinals as well.  Junior Liz Collins won the state independent schools championship in the 100 ****** stroke, while MacDonald took the gold in the 100 backstroke. 

Collins grabbed a 6th place in 100 breaststroke at Metros, Sam Ellis a 7th place in the 100 free.  Alina Hall earned 3rd in the 100 free and a 4th in the 200 IM. Saskia Kroesen was 11th in the 100 butterfly and MacDonald 3rd in the butterfly.  Diver Mandy Imbrigglia continued a family diving tradition in the 1 meter diving event with a 5th place Metro finish.

Five school records were eclipsed at Metros, including the 100 butterfly in an automatic all American time and notched a all American consideration performance in the 100 free style.  Joining MacDonald in all American consideration is the women’s quartet sophomore Mattie Ziegler, Collins, Hall, and junior Saskia Kroesen, setting 200 medley relay record for the Cardinals. The 200 freestyle relay record was shattered by 1.5 seconds on the men’s side with sophomore Michael Clark, junior Ryan Doughtery, and seniors MacDonald and Sam Ellis, edging DeMatha for third, just short of Gonzaga and Georgetown Prep.

The final record was the 3:18.23 performance in the men’s 400 freestyle relay was recorded by seniors Carey Natoli, MacDonald, Ellis, and junior Doughtery.

The season ending awards banquet is scheduled for Sunday, March 7th at the Springfield Country Club at 7pm.
