The Varsity Boys Swim team for Pelham Memorial High School Finished their season with a 3-5 record. Despite their unfortunate losses, they had many accomplishments along the way.

The swim teams’ wins came against  Yorktown-Somers, Ossining, and Wappingers. Led by coach Chris Driwinga, they persisted despite the struggle of having a smaller roster than most teams in their division.

“We have a small team and I would encourage others to join the team to have great success in the future,” said senior Spencer Conrad.

On January 27, the team competed in League Championships at the Mark Twain pool in Yonkers, where they placed a deserved 6th place overall. Senior Matt Michailoff placed 3rd in the 100 yard butterfly stroke. The top 8 finishers Include Bobby Langerfeld in the 50 freestyle and 100 butterfly, Matt Michailoff in the 100 butterfly and 200 freestyle, and Gianluca Polenzani in the 100 backstroke and 200 IM. 

The team captains, seniors Matt Michailoff and Spencer Conrad,both qualified to compete in Sectionals and are hoping for a strong finish to end the winter season. 

“We were hoping to do better, however it leaves a lot of improvement for the future,” said Erik Fontanella.
