GSCY Storm age groupers displayed some fantastic and fast swimming at the 2022 Eastern Zone SC Age Group Championships, held from March 30th to April 2nd at the Webster Aquatic Center in Webster, NY.  A total of 12 local swim committees (LSCs) were represented at the meet, from Virginia to Maine, and over 150 teams competed.  A total of 21 GSCY Storm athletes qualified to compete at this meet.

"Our swimmers had great performances across the board!" said Dio Tzortzis, lead coach for Gold 3S. "Even though competitions like this can be intimidating or tiring, all of our athletes showed resilience and were determined to do their best.  And it was great to see how much they all supported each other."

"I think the future of our program is bright," added Jack Lawson, lead coach for Gold 2N and Silver 1N.  "We want to thank our swimmers for working so hard and the parents for all of their support."
