JESSICA CARY ’16
The boys swim team lead by Leslie Lorenz and Skye McConnell took on State on February 19th and 20th. Captains, Nate Miller and Connor Mckenny, joined the boys in their State journey. Nate Miller ’15 was the only boy to qualify for an individual event. Miller ’15 went to State in the 200 free and 100 back. The 200 medley and free relays both qualified for State as well. The 200 medley relay consisted of Miller ’15, Nolan Manning ’16, Nick Hanley ’17, Alex Martin ’16 while the 200 free relay was Miller’15, Manning ’16, Hanley ’17, and Connor Mckenny ’17. The 200 free relay and Miller ’15, in both individuals, moved on to finals. The relay got 12th overall and Miller ’15 got 8th in the 100 back but struggled in the 200 free.
The boys basketball team continued to impress. With an overall 19-7 record they moved on to State, defeating Lakeside in the opening round but falling in the semifinals to eventual State Champs Garfield. In the regular season the team only lost games against Garfield, Rainier Beach, Eastside Catholic, and Kentwood. In Districts the team had a few mishaps and put fans on the edge of their seats. In the first Districts game, the team went into a triple overtime eventually beating out Mercer Island. The Seattle Prep community cheers the team on as State gets closer.
