Led by Bucknell-bound senior Joslin Halsey, who won two individual events and and was a part of two winning relays, Lincoln-Sudbury finished second for the second consecutive year. It was a tough season for the Warriors, who lost access to their pool and had to travel 30 minutes to another for practices.
Halsey took the last lap in the meet's closing race, the 400 freestyle relay, clinching the win. It meant more because of what the team had been through.
'I touched the wall and saw 1, and I was so happy,' said Halsey.
In the night's first event, Attleboro took a lead on Zuri Ferguson's 25.31 lead lap and never let go. Teammates Ava Dougherty, Samantha Provost and Caroline Lunch-Bartek followed with strong swims of their own to see the Bombardiers defeat Lincoln-Sudbury and Concord-Carlisle to win with a time of 1:50.97. Ferguson would go on to win the 100 backstroke in a 54.62, earning All-American honors.
In the 200 individual medley, Sharon's Feining Huang had a convincing victory, bettering her seed time by nearly three seconds, winning the race with a 2:07.70. The 50 free was tightly contested, with the top four finishers within .4 seconds of each other. New Bedford sophomore Serenity Coleman came out the winner with a time of 24.32.
