The Jonathan Law Girls swim and dive team has taken their final lap on their regular season.

The team’s meet record is 7-8 after winning on October 27 against their crosstown rival Foran High School. 

“Throughout this season I have tried to maintain a positive mindset,” senior captain Emma Savoie said. “Sometimes I can get nervous before my races, but I do my best to stay focused and try not to let my nerves get the best of me.”

Savoie has broken numerous records throughout her seasons at Law, some of which are the 200 Individual Medley, 50 Freestyle, 100 Butterfly, 500 Freestyle and the relays.

“Our team is basically a family, and we have gotten so close over the course of the season and have been able to motivate each other,” junior Aislinn Burns said. “Every meet we have multiple people going best times, and you can tell that everyone is working hard in practice.”

The majority of the team is going to SCCs. The girls are hoping to make the times and the scores they need in their events to qualify for the Class M Championships. 

“We have all been super hype all season,” junior Liv Coddington said. “We go into meets not just competing against our opponent but against ourselves as well, which pushes us to do our best.”

Not only have the swimmers been doing well but the divers are doing great. Freshman Paige Kantor and Coddington have both made states for diving along with seniors Emma Nelly and Makenna Sharpe. 

“I tell them all the time: we have the best group of divers in the state,” head coach Rob Rosner said. “They score huge points for us, and they are so much fun to watch compete.”

Senior captain Makenna Sharpe has broken her 6-dive record a few times this year and now stands at a score of 275.70. 

“As a new and inexperienced diver I had to make sure I was working hard to perfect dives so they would be ready for meets,” freshman Charlotte Rascoll said. 

The divers had SCC Championships on Saturday, October 30. Sharpe won SCC Championships, Nelly came in 5th, Coddington in 13th, and Kantor in 15th. 

“Last year, we lost a handful of seniors, but this year, the team is at its strongest,” Savoie said.

The team added five freshmen to their roster this year, and all five freshmen have been assets to the team. 

“Everyone is swimming their best and are finally seeing the benefits of all the hard work they did all season,“ Rosner said.
