MCCI 11/01/08

The Pittsford Junior Varsity S’Women team concluded their season at the Monroe County Coaches’ Invitational on Saturday, November 1st at the Webster Aquatic Center.  The meet brings together several schools from across Monroe County and provides an opportunity for competition between schools and swimmers that might not occur in the regular season dual meets.  The Pittsford S’Women went undefeated this season in dual meet competitions, and they displayed the same energy, enthusiasm and success in the MCCI meet.

The relay teams for Pittsford left everyone in their wake on Saturday.  Both 200-yard medley relay teams took first place. The team of Jenny Riley, Mackenzie Ward, Sydney Ryan and Katie Hart finished with a time of 2:06.19 and the team of Kaelan Fennell, Andrea Meyer, Emily Himes and Olivia Holodnik beat their seed time by seven seconds and touched with a final time of 2:11.55.  The domination in the relays continued with Pittsford taking two first places in the 200-yard Freestyle Relays.  The team of Anna Grazulis, Audrey Hunt,  Lydia Hunt and Izzy Joynt  finished with a time of 1:57.41 and the team of Andrea Meyer, Erin Connolly, Katie Hart and Kala Wilkins finished in 1:49.79.  And finally, both Pittsford 400-yard freestyle relays finished first, with the team of Paige Hasebe, Liz Piotrowski, Laura Petishnok and Meagan Branch touching in 4:40.39 and the team of Kala Wilkins, Jenny Riley, Ern Connolly and Elizabeth Maier finishing even stronger with a time of 4:03.88. 

Pittsford had similar success in the individual events on Saturday.  Kala Wilkins, Jamie Tyler, Olivia Holodnik, Emily Himes, Jenna Mattina, Audrey Hunt and Helaina Hummell all reached sectional qualifying times or better in the 200-yard freestyle.  In the 200-yard individual medley, Sydney Ryan finished with a time of 2:35.17 beating the sectional qualifying time by five seconds.   Fourteen Pittsford swimmers competed in the 50-yard freestyle event (the most from any participating school) and  in addition to four qualifying sectional times by Katie Hart, Erin Connolly, Emily Dipaulo and Izzy Joynt, the following swimmers placed: Jenna Mattina (1st), Anna Grazulis (3rd), Mackenzie Ward (6th), Briana Viera (7th), Laura Petishnok (8th), Erin Gaffney (9th), Paige Hasebe (15th), Olivia Gallagher (16th), Genevieve Yaeger (19th) and Nina Daniels (22nd). 

The Pittsford S’women also had a strong showing in the 100-yard Butterfly with Emily Himes placing 1st, Genevieve Yaeger placing 7th and Kala Wilkins, Elizabeth Maier, Sydney Ryan, Lydia Hunt and Jamie Tyler all finishing with sectional qualifying times.  The 100-yard Freestyle also showed a strong performance by the S’women with the following finishes: Audrey Hunt (3rd), Kaelan Fennell (4th), Laura Petishnok (7th), Briana Viera (8th), Liz Piotrowski (9th) and rounding out the team was Andrea Meyer (14th).  Jenny Riley, Erin Connolly and Emily Dipaulo all achieved sectional qualifying times in the race. The longest event of the day, the 500-yard Freestyle, had Erin Gaffney placing 3rd with Katie Hart and Helaina Hummell achieving sectional qualifying times.

In the 100-yard backstroke, seven swimmers qualified with sectional times (Kaelen Fennell, Anna Grazulis, Olivia Holodnik, Lydia Hunt, Izzy Joynt, Elizabeth Maier and Jenny Riley) and three swimmers placed: Paige Hasebe (4th), Olivia Gallagher (11th) and Nina Daniels (12th).  The last individual event of the day was the 100-yard breaststroke and the Pittsford women delivered yet again with qualifying sectional times by Mackenzie Ward and Andrea Meyer and a 6th place finish by Liz Piotrowski and a 9th place finish by Meagan Branch.

In the end it was a very successful day for Pittsford S’Women and if history is any indication, the team will continue to deliver outstanding results under the coaching staff of Marty Keating and Beth Dobberstein.  Great job!
