Historic Success
We are thrilled to announce that this was the most successful Junior Olympics / Age Group Team
Challenge in Patriot History! Altogether our swimmers laid down 107 Personal Best times, and
our 11 - 14 year olds participated in an astounding 25 Finals swims! Our 39 athletes pooled
together to boost the Patriot Swim Team up to over 90,000 Virtual Club Championships points
(VCC's) in USA Swimming, which landed us in 19th place in Metro and put us in 560th place out of
the nearly 4000 teams in the US! We are beaming with pride!
Our JO/AGTC swimmers set a total of 56 new Team Records over the weekend! This includes 21
new Beacon Records, 14 new Peekskill Records, and 21 new Patriot records.
16 of our Championship swimmers are responsible for these new edits in our recordbooks; which reflects the growing depth of our team:
| Jillian Cudney | Kendra Graham | Thomas Holman | Robert Hutton |
| Matt Keane | Donna Lam | Justin Lee | Thomas McCaffrey |
| Jonathan Nunez | Megan Pagano | Marc Piliero | Antonio Rizzo |
| Giovanni Rizzo | Lauren Siegel | Miya Vitale | Philip Volaski |
Please join us in congratulating them on their great achievements.
We would also like to recognize Lauren Siegel for making a Sectional cut in the 100 Back --
Congratulations, Lauren! Other notable efforts in the 15-18 AG Team Challenge include Emily
Buitekant with 5 best times; Alana Donabie with 4; Kassey Gonzales with 5; Donna Lam with 4;
