Middle School Swim Team Wins Metro 10 Swim Championship!!!

Coach Jordan and the Pinecrest MS Swim team took to the pool Friday Night with one thing on their mind - bring home the Championship!

After a controversial finish last year which led to a 2nd place finish in the school's last meet as a NAML member, many of the Paladins wanted to make sure there was no doubt.  Chipper Levy and Nicholas Mitchell, both 8th graders, led the way for the Boys with a perfect night, accumulating the maximum number of points by an individual, 30. The girls were led by Mercedes Persechetti (7th gr) who has been a consistent scorer all year with 25.5, and newcomer to the Paladin program, Rachael Brown (5th gr), who brought home 27 pts.

Both the boys and girls team won the individual team championship. The Paladin Boys led the way with 163 points, the next closest was St. Francis, with 89. The Paladin Girls scored 119.5 while St. Francis followed with 108. 

When the first Metro 10 Combined Champions were announced the walls of the Cumming Aquatic Center rattled due to the Paladin screams!

Coach Jordan and the team would like to thank all of the parent and varsity swimmer volunteers who helped out with the meet, especially Mrs. Cheryl Reed and Mr. Scott Brown. They would also like to thank all of those who came out to cheer them on, especially Mrs. Cress, Mrs. Mazzolini, Ms. Miller, Coach Oshinski, and the student body who could make it out. And a special thanks to Coach Sam Lialios for all his hard work and dedication to putting on a great meet for the first Metro 10 Championship!

Go Paladins!
