Sophomore Emma Savoie made history being the second all-state swimmer at Jonathan Law alongside her older sister Hannah Savoie. Emma closed her second swim season breaking the 500 yard freestyle record with a 5:17.22, coming in third place at finals. She also broke the 200 freestyle relay alongside Lily Baldieri, Hannah Rascoll, and Athena Homorodean. Entertainment Editor Stephanie Caron sat down to talk to her about the season.

Stephanie Caron: How do you feel being the second all state swimmer, alongside your sister? 

Emma Savoie: I feel completely honored and excited to have my name added to the same banner that I will now share with my sister, Hannah.

SC: How did your season’s work lead you to get All-State?

ES: My coaches continued to push myself, along with the entire team. They always kept their faith in all of us. We all pushed together, and we all came and conquered together. We made Opens for the 2nd season with our coaches. 

SC: How did Mrs. Anderson push you to meet your goals?

ES:  Mrs. Anderson always made me believe in myself and kept her confidence in me, as she did my sister. With her continuous support, it is obvious that she is able to make others reach their greatest expectations. For this, I am grateful for her coaching ability and the person she is.

SC:  How did your teammates encourage you to push yourself?

ES:  Our team is pretty tight. We are all friends and we continually cheer and hype each other up whether it be at practice or swimming in the most important meets. We have each other’s backs. 

SC:  Do you plan to reach the same goal and go All-State again next season? 

ES:  I will absolutely strive to push myself to reach higher goals while at JLHS and continue to cherish the friendships of my teammates. I look forward to all the memories to be had.
