Falcons perform well at NYS meet

Members of the ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ varsity swim team completed some unfinished business at this past weekend's state swim meet.

The Falcon medley relay team - Carson Engstrom, Louie Cassella, Ya'ir Sasson and Cosmo Martinelli - placed 15th (out of 43 teams). It was an exciting race with our swimmers starting out in 23rd, then swiftly moving to the top 18 before finishing at 15 with a final time of 1:39:43.

The relay beat Guilderland-Voorheesville, Bethlehem, ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ Academy and Niskayuna, teams they trailed in the regular season and earlier meets in the post season. The boys' medley team also broke ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­'s record at the NYSPHSAA meet.

Individually, Louie Cassella came in 27th (out of 45) in the breast stroke, with a time of 59:36 and 13th (out of 56) in the 50m free, with a time of 21.90. Carson Engstrom placed 17th (out of 41) in the 100 backstroke, with a time 53.32. Both student-athletes also broke ÉðÊ¿Âþ»­ boys' swim team records at the NYSPHSAA meet.

Congratulations to our swimmers and head coach Rossi Maldonado on a wonderful season - we're proud of you!
