For the first time in its 20 year history, the Notre Dame Swim Team, known as the Flying Fish, captured the CYO Division A Swim Championship at Eisenhower Pool on March 25.
The championship meet was very close with Notre Dame pulling away in the final relay races. The Flying Fish finished 43 points ahead of main rival St. Anne’s and 126 points more than St. Aidan’s.
The Flying Fish had achieved second place in each of the last two years, losing to St. Anne’s by 113 point in 2013 and 53 points in 2014.
The Flying Fish finished their dual meet season with a perfect 8–0 record and won CYO’s highest team honor, the Sportsmanship Award, which is given to the team that shows spirit, teamwork and respect for the competition.
Congratulations to the swimmers, junior coaches Andrew Seger, Katie Scherder and Samantha Zebitsch, senior coaches Jaime Silva, Kevin Seger, Marie Loftus and Paul Krische, and all the volunteers for a job well done.
