Long layoffs can be detrimental to any team.
Christ School swimmers clearly made the most of the two months since their last meet.
A total of 13 Greenies attained at least one personal record in Thursday afternoon’s Carolinas Athletic Association meet at Asheville School.
Christ School’s first-place swim in the Medley Relay (1:48.52) stands out as the first event win of the season, with the team comprised of Jake Landis ‘25, John Barton ‘25, Davis Mohorn ‘24, and Tyler Thompson ‘24.
Individually, John touched the wall as the runner-up in the 200-yard freestyle (1:53.29) and 500-yard freestyle (5:11.57). Jake was second in the 100-yard backstroke (1:02.37) and third in the 200-yard individual medley (2:17.36). Tyler came in third in the 50-yard freestyle (25.34) and Davis was third in the 100-yard backstroke (1:06.17).
Leo Lagutin ‘24 qualified for the NCISAA Division I state meet in the 50-yard freestyle (25.79) and 100-yard freestyle (59.82). Kevin Xue '26 shaved 12 seconds off his previous PR in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 37.07.
