This year was a great mix of veteran swimmers and young newcomers. The seniors did their share of winning, helping lead the team to nine meet wins and a solid third-place finish in the Genesee Region League Meet Championship. The newcomers added great depth and gained valuable experience and will be counted on in years to come. They finished 2nd in Class D sectionals the past two years and nearly did so again for the third year in a row, falling just 9 points short. They won 5 of 11 swimming events at Class D sectionals and were led by Tom Conkling (Class D Sectional Champion in 50 and 100 Free), Henry Weaver (Class D Sectional Champion in 200 and 500 Free), and the 200 Free Relay team of Tom Conkling, Max Bent, Connor Dance, and Henry Weaver, who also were crowned champions (Class D Sectional Champions in 200 Free Relay). Tom set a new School record in the 50 Free and qualified for the New York State Swim Meet.

With the graduation of many key players, this year’s varsity baseball team was looking for many new players to step things up. The Wolves fared well in non-league play, going 5-2, but struggled to play a complete game in the Finger Lakes League. Next season, they will be relying heavily on a lineup that will be filled with experienced seniors.
This is a squad on the rise and proved much this season. Having previously earned the Genesee Region Division II title the last three years, the girls were bound and determined not to break the streak, and they succeeded. The team posted a 6-0 league record and won 12 meets overall, making a statement that they are a team to be reckoned with. To finish up a great season, the girls won the School’s first ever Genesee Region League Meet Championship. Three school records were set. Alexis Williams, Kelsey O’Brien, Colette McConnell, and Lily Frye set a new School record in the 200 Medley Relay; O’Brien, McConnell, Meghan Dens, and Frye set a School record in the 200 Free Relay, and Frye, Dens, McConnell, and Williams set a new School mark in the 400-Free Relay.

The season began in fine fashion, but the team ran into a rash of injuries that forced many players to play out of position most of the season. Alex West led the team on the mound and Lydia Hill contributed mightily with her bat. The team hopes to begin the season healthy next year and build on the momentum they created while finishing up the 2009 campaign.
