First Swimming and Diving The Girls’ Swimming squad swam well in both the Founders League and New England Championships, breaking two school records and setting a number of personal best times. At the Founders League Championships, the 200-medley relay team of Elizabeth Brewer ’17, cocaptain Charlotte Lennox ’16, Nornia Xu ’17 and Leta Giordano ’17 began the meet by breaking Westminster’s school record in the event. Giordano also won a third-place bronze medal in the 200-yard freestyle and a second-place silver medal in the 100yard butterfly. Giordano had an even better showing at the New England Championships the following weekend, winning first place in the 200-yard freestyle and breaking the Westminster School record in that event. Jack Norman ’16 made some of his best dives of the season in the championship meets, taking fourth place in the one-meter springboard at the Founders League Diving Championships, and winning second place overall in the New England Diving Championships.

First Girls’ Squash First Girls’ Squash had a strong showing in the New England Tournament, winning 15 of 24 matches to place seventh out of 16 teams. Caroline Percival ’19 was a tough out at No. 3, twice going to four games in losses and twice coming from behind to win in a ninth-place showing in her draw. After going 2-1 on Saturday, Abby Newman ’16 won a seesaw five-setter Sunday morning against a higher-seeded player, but fell in four in her final match to take sixth place at No. 7. At No. 1, Abby LeBlanc ’17 posted a 4-1 record on the weekend en route to a fifthplace finish. Sarah Poling ’16 also went 4-1 for fifth place at No. 5, with her only loss coming on a tough four-setter, (7), 5, 12, 9. Finally, the best individual finish went to Katie Deveaux ’16. Her consecutive five-set wins on Saturday — 8, 9, (7), (3), 7 against St George's and 9, 9, (8), (5), 9 against Westover (avenging a loss to the same opponent at the National Tournament) — put her in the semifinals. Two tough losses on Sunday left her with a fourth-place finish. The girls can be proud of the way they brought their season to a conclusion.
