The Jonathan Law girls swim season recently came to an exciting end with a record of 9-4. 

They also finished the postseason with many swimmers competing at the Class M State finals, including Senior Captain Ella Franzman.

“Another goal we had throughout the whole season, regular and postseason, is to make it to State Finals and I’m proud of all of us for working so hard to get there,” Franzman said. 

Head Coach Rob Rosner guided the team to a successful season, building athletes who have learned to persevere through the lows and maintain the highs. 

“I’d say a constant challenge is the mental and physical battle that comes with our long season,” Rosner said. “The ability to stay healthy but also stay focused on our goals.”

With the season wrapping up, the inevitable goodbyes to the seniors of the team have begun. 

“It is definitely a bitter sweet feeling that my senior year season has come to an end,” senior Sana Joshi said. “I am sad that I won’t be able to swim with this team anymore but also very thankful for all the people I met and the those I was able to build strong connections with.”

Junior Kayla Markowitz has had a season filled with victories, friendships, and personal growth but the biggest impression made on her were the ones created by her senior role models. 

“The seniors have made such a positive impact on the team this year by bringing everyone together and always being so supportive,” Markowtiz said. “It’s going to be hard to see them go but they have shown me what it means to be a leader on this team and I hope next year I can do the same for underclassman what they did for me.” 

Senior Captain Paige Kantor was proud of the ay she finished her final swim season.

“My goal for this season was to break my PR diving score of a 207,” Kantor said. “I was able to get a 208 on my Senior Night this year and it was so awesome.”

These moments filled the season and concluded with an incredible Senior Night win against Foran High School.

“It was a very close and nerve racking meet but we ended up on top,” Kantor said. “It was an amazing experience and I am so proud of our team for bagging that win on our Senior Night.”

Rosner coaches the team along with Assistant Coach Mr. Lui and over the past years they have greatly impacted every athlete on the team.

“I can speak on behalf of the team when I say we are so grateful for our coaches,” Senior Captain Natalia Gagliardi said. “They have put in an insane amount of effort every day, helping our team get better.”
