Amity Girls’ Swim Team Has A Successful Regular Season

The Amity girls’ swimming team

swam to a second place finish in the

Southern Connecticut Conference

Championship tournament.

Cheshire finished first during the

SCC championships. The most outstanding

swimmer during the SCC

championships was Amity’s Dana

Chung.

“I’m very pleased with the team

this season. I’ve been impressed with

how our girls have all pitched in and

contributed,” said James Todd Rainey,

who is the head swim coach. “It’s

been a total team effort all season and

the depth brought by having that kind

of attitude has been the biggest reason

for our success.”

“Our seniors have definitely provided

leadership and the younger girls

have picked up on their cues and progressed

a great deal,” added Rainey.

Coming out of the SCC meet,

Amity had All-SCC performances

from Madeline Snow, Olivia Smith,

Maggie Lasto, Megan Lasto, Jessica

Kochiss, along with swimmer of the

meet, Chung.

“These are the girls that we will be

looking to for leadership as we take a

team of 20 girls into the Class “LL”

Championships,” Rainey said.

During the regular season against

Daniel Hand High School, Amity had

“great performances” by Chung in the

200 Freestyle, Sydney Formica in the

50 Freestyle, Kiley Saxa in Diving

and Smith in the 100 Butterfly. All

turned in season best times, said

Rainey.

Against Sacred Heart, the girls

continued to lower their season best

times, Rainey said. Delivering this

time were Snow with victory in the

200 Freestyle, Lydia Pokluda in the

50 Freestyle, Kaitlin Merriam in Diving,

Brittany Smith in the 100 Butterfly,

Lauren Perrone in the 500

Freestyle, Katie Jensen in the 100

Backstroke, and Natalie Ambrosey in

the 100 Breaststroke.
