The JV swim team kicked off the season with a home tri-meet against local rivals Bement and Eaglebrook. This year Deerfield’s young team features 16 new members with many new to the sport. Highlights of the meet featured several second place finishes including Cam Howe in the 50 Backstroke, Declan Culinane in the 100 Backstroke, and Captain Ian Gordon in the 100 Freestyle. The day also featured a gutsy performance in the 500 free from Captain Lucy Blake whose consistent refrain when asked, who can swim yet another difficult event, is “I’ll do it.” With such leadership in place, this will be a fun and positive season.
