It has been an incredible season for the Law girls swimming and diving team.

As their fall season comes to a close, records continue to be broken. The SCC meet was held on Monday, October 27, and 25 out of the 37 girls on the team qualified in at least one event.

That is the highest total in head coach Ms. Paolini’s tenure at Law.

“We aim to get better every day,” said Paolini. “This year with many newcomers to the sport, we surpassed expectations.”

During the SCC trials, senior Jamie Loma and freshman Hannah Savoie both qualified for finals in two events each, and will continue on with their season.

The relay squad for finals will consist of juniors Kelly Scianna and Haley McNulty, and freshman Pamela Olmos.

“I’m excited to continue swimming,” said McNulty.

This will be the final high school season for many girls on the team, including senior captains Loma, Melissa Hanania, and Phoebe Herbert and senior Hayley Sanchez. Herbert has been on the team for four years.

“It’s been fun, all of the girls get along with each other,” said Herbert. ”I’m going to miss it a lot.”

Loma plans to swim for Penn State after she graduates from Law.

“I think this season went really well, a lot of personal records were broken, a lot of school records were broken, and I achieved most of my goals,” said Loma. “I’m going to miss my teammates a lot, we were like a family and I’m going to miss them when I will be swimming in college next year.”

This season was Sanchez’s first year on the swim team.

“Being a part of the team for the first year was really cool, to see the support from the team was amazing,” said Sanchez. “I was really proud to be a senior and a part of the team.”

The team finished off the season with a dual meet record of 3-11 and individually, many of the girls achieved personal best times.

Senior captain Kelsey Kopazna joined Law’s Top 10 list in diving and is now second all-time in diving score behind alum Alex White.

Savoie also became a part of the Law’s Top 10 times list. She is close to breaking a school record in the 200 and 500 meter freestyle.

Loma has broken three school records so far this season in the 200 meter individual medley, the 100 meter butterfly, and the 100 meter backstroke.
