Shore Swimming ended their successful season with an 8-3 record. They had an exciting Shore Conference meet placing 8th, their first top ten finish! The girls medley relay of Elesabeth Racioppi, Erin Ruane, Helen Grossman and Julia Dunzelman came in 6th and set a new school record of 1:54.75. Erin Ruane came in 15th in the 50 free. Julia Dunzelman came in 12th in both the 50 and 100 freestyle events. LSU commit Helen Grossman came in 1st in the 50 freestyle event in new school record of 24.18 and 1st in the 100 butterfly in a new Shore Conference meet record of 55.53. The girls 400 free relay of Helen Grossman, Erin Ruane, Lizzie Welsh and Julia Dunzelman came in 3rd and qualified for the meet of champions while breaking the school record from 2002 by 8 seconds.  Leading off the relay, Helen Grossman set a new school record in the 100 free, swimming faster than the winning 100 free time. Even after such an awesome and record setting performance they did not make the state meet, but are sure to continue to make a splash next year!
