Jonathan Law senior swim captain Emma Savoie was recently named All-State for the second time in her swimming career.
Savoie wrapped up a successful senior season which saw her break many records along the way. She consistently led Law to victory, helping the team to a seven-win season.
“This year I have reached my goal of achieving All-State and getting some of my best times,” Savoie said.
This is not Savoie’s first time achieving All-State, as she earned this honor her sophomore year as well.
“I knew it was going to be a challenge since most athletes have not been able to practice or compete since the pandemic,” Savoie said. “I couldn’t be happier with achieving this honor both my sophomore and senior year as the most honorable part is to share my All-State banner with my own sister.”
Savoie has been constantly improving all season allowing her to break many records. This season she broke three records including: the 100 yard backstroke, previously set by Jamie Loma in 2014; the 200 yard freestyle, previously held by her own sister Hannah Savoie; and finally, her own record in the 100 yard butterfly.
She has put in large amounts of effort into her senior season allowing for her to hold many more of the swim records at Jonathan Law.
“This year I broke the 200 freestyle record on three different occasions,” says Savoie. “I am also currently the record holder in the 200 medley relay, 200 individual medley, 50 freestyle, 500 freestyle, 200 freestyle relay, and the 400 freestyle relay.”
Savoie has a strong work ethic as an individual swimmer, team swimmer, and overall leader. Her fellow teammates think highly of her as she motivates them through every practice and meet
“She is easily the most hardworking girl on our team and never fails to step up every single meet,” junior Macie Rascoll said. “Emma also steps up as a leader as she supports every single girl on the team and always knows how to put a smile on someone’s face.”
Savoie’s outstanding swimming career will not stop her as she has future plans to continue swimming in college.
“I have not yet committed to a school but I am 100% planning on pursuing my swim career,” Savoie said.
