The Olean High School girls’ swim team’s 200 medley relay team had recorded plenty of firsts this season, but none will ever top the finish the Huskie foursome had Saturday afternoon.
Posting a time of 1:49.36, the team of Summer Sawaya, Rachel Bantelman, Grace Williamson, and Emily Simon tied for first at the New York State Championship meet held at Webster-Schroeder High School.
The team will share the state title with a foursome from Brewster High School (Sec.1), which had entered Friday’s preliminary competition as the top-seeded team in the state.
That quickly changed, though, when Olean took to the pool and recorded a 1:49.34 – an All-American consideration time that proved to be the best of the weekend.
