The Pittsford S’Women captured their sixth straight Class A Section V Championship on Friday, November 9th at the Webster Aquatic Center scoring 574.5 points over second place Fairport with 422. The common factor in these victories, as well as the many other accomplishments of Pittsford swim teams and individual swimmers over the past 35 years has been head coach Maurice “Marty” Keating. But ask him who deserves the credit and he readily tells you that it is the girls who show up for “preseason” every August and the incredible amount of time and effort that they devote to this sport. For the Pittsford S’Women, swimming is not a seasonal sport, it is a life style – a year round commitment to training – a commitment that once again paid off for the 23 swimmers and divers who competed at this year’s championships. Section V has been one of the most competitive sections in the state but the team once again rose to the challenge and every contestant qualified for the finals.Jenny Lewis, finishing her fifth and final season, was named Section V Division I Swimmer of the Year as well as the Swimmer of the Meet for her outstanding performance. She was also voted first runner up for the Donna J. Mooney Award that is awarded to a swimmer based on character, sportsmanship and their commitment to the sport of swimming. In the pool, Lewis won the 100 yard backstroke, breaking her own Section V record in 55.18 seconds, just 3/100ths of a second off the New York State record. Her performance earned her automatic All-American honors. She also won the 100 yard freestyle in 52.12 seconds breaking her own school record in this event, earning All-American consideration. She was a member of the winning 200 yard medley relay which earned All-American consideration and the winning 400 yard freestyle relay that also earned automatic All-American status and broke the school record. In her 5 years as a member of the S’Women, she has qualified for the New York State championships in all 5 seasons, has been the Sectional Champion in the 100 yard backstroke for 4 years and in the 100 yard freestyle for 3 years. She has been a member of the winning 200 yard medley relay team for the past 4 years. She is a 7 time high school All-American and looks forward to defending her State Championship in the 100 yard backstroke.
