Blue Devil Notes
Swimmers getting primed for postseason; Wrestlers earn split at Rockville Duals By Nick Carroll The Plainville Citizen
Record-wise, the boys swim team hit a rough patch recently, but the news wasn’t all bad for the Blue Devils. “Not the most successful week we could have had, but even with the losses the team had a lot of great swims, with everyone on the team getting a best time in at least one event this week, and three state qualifiers,” said Plainville coach Chris Zagorski. “I had hoped to pull out one or two wins, es-

Unfortunately, that didn’t happen.” The Blue Devils lost to Rocky Hill, 95-88, and East Catholic, 94-89, and also came up short against Simsbury, 91-88. Picking up wins against Rocky Hill were Wojtek Plachta (200 freestyle, 2:02.64; 500 freestyle, 5:35.44), Shayla Beausoleil (diving, 116.85), Nick Evangelista (100 butterfly, 1:04.32) and Eddy Lee (100 backstroke, 1:08.15).
Justin Freitas was runner-up in the 50 freestyle and qualified for the state meet with his time of 24.98. Chalking up first-place finishes against East Catholic were Plachta (200
individual medley, 2:19.91; 100 backstroke, 1:02.65), Beausoleil (diving, 138.40) and Lee (500 freestyle, 5:54.68). Evangelista took second in the 100 butterfly (1:03.77)
