Greeley sinks Suffern

The final dual meet of the regular season for the Greeley boys swim team began on Tuesday, Jan. 29 with the stands filled to capacity.

The long-anticipated meet drew an energized crowd filled with Quaker swimming fans: swim team alum, alum parents, Greeley parents, the Varsity girls’ swim team (and their parents) and friends by the dozens -- all cheering for the undefeated Quakers to bring home a win.

The excitement began with the 200 medley relay. The Quakers won in a thrilling finish, setting the tone for the remaining events. The swimmers were buoyed by divers who placed 2nd, 3rd and 4th in their portion of the meet. The swimming continued with a carefully-crafted lineup, some races so close they were ruled an official tie, splitting the points in half between the two teams. With every race the Quakers swam closer to their 112.5 - 73.5 victory over Suffern.

The dual meet season ended with pride and tremendous sportsmanship. With this victory over rival Suffern capping an undefeated 8-0 record, the Quakers are springing confidently into the championship phase of the high school season. The next splash for the Quakers will be the Divisional Championships. This meet will see the best swimmers in the division swim against one another. The teams represented will be Greeley, Suffern, White Plains, John Jay, Tappan Zee, Clarkstown, North Rockland, Rye and the combined team of Pleasantville, Armonk and Briarcliff. This two part meet begins with diving at Pace University on Friday, Feb. 1st at 5 p.m. and continues with swimming on Saturday, Feb. 2nd at White Plains High School at 9 a.m. (Editor's note: the diving has been moved to White Plains at 9:00 am on Saturday, February 2, swimming to follow.)

The pressure will certainly be on the Greeley swimmers and divers to continue the impressive winning streak through the divisional meet and beyond – to ultimately regain the sectional title and add “2008” to the banner which hangs proudly over the pool.

Karen Clarke and her husband have lived in Chappaqua for 20 plus years. They have three sons, all of whom swim and two who are currently on the Greeley swim team.
