🏊♂️ A Historic Night for Schuyler Storm Swimming & Diving! 🏊♂️
For over two decades, the 200 Medley Relay record at Watkins Glen High School stood strong at 1:44.76, set back in 2000 by an incredible group of student athletes. Their legacy has been a benchmark for generations of swimmers. 🌊
Tonight, at the Section IV Class C Prelims, history was rewritten! 🚀💥 The new school record is 1:44.38—a testament to the dedication, teamwork, and relentless pursuit of excellence by our student-athletes.
👏 Former Record Holders (2000): Kevin Murphy, Andy Clark, Sasha Kuznezov, and Cody Chambers
🏆 New Record Holders (2025): Ryan Dean, Grayson Robertson, Liam Smith, Carson Thaete
Congratulations to our record breakers, all of our Storm Swimmers and Divers, and to our coaches for honoring the past while pushing the future of Storm Swimming and Diving to new heights! #SchuylerStrong #WGProud 💪
