STANDISH ME: Windham hosted another meet at St. Joseph’s College pool Saturday afternoon and defeated Yarmouth 84-67 in a tightly contested meet.  Both teams are lacking the depth to fill all lanes in all events so the scoring wasn’t as high as it could have been.

Windham took first place in all events of the meet except the opening 200yd Medley Relay and since Yarmouth didn’t have the numbers to fill the lanes, couldn’t out score Windham with lower finishes.  Recapping the first place finishes for Windham:

St. Joseph’s is now the home pool for both Bonny Eagle and Windham HS Swim programs.  New records are being set by both the girls and the boys as the season progresses.  Look for faster times as the season gets closer to the end as the swimmers prepare for the State Championships.  Workouts will be classed as “Tapering” where workouts will be shorter in duration but faster reps will be had in the pool with more frequent rests.

 

Congratulations to those swimmers who posted new pool record times!

Go Eagles!
