TH swimmers split with Wahconah; NL/B sweeps Hudson

In the girls meet, the 400 free relay team of Clare Howard, Lauren Madsen, Daisy Plaza and Emma Avenia set a new school record (4:06.71) to highlight the Titans’ victory. The prior record was set in 2007 (4:12.53).

Howard also won the 100 Free and 200 Free, while Avenia took first in the 200 Free and 100 Fly and Jackie Arre won the 200 IM and 100 Back.

In the boys’ meet, Taconic Hills (3-1) suffered its first loss of the season. Chris Russell finished second in both the 200 I.M. and the 100 Breast with personal bests in both events.

Neil Howard III won both the 50 free and the 100 backstroke for the Titans, while Tyler Mulrein won the 500 free and Josh Sena had a pair of second places in the 200 free and the 100 free.

“Wahconah had a bigger team so even when we won a race, we were not able to gain any ground because they had more entries in the event,” Titans’ coach Tom Russo said. “I am proud of the effort of our team in spite of the loss.”
