Madison Women Claim Concorde; Men Finish 2nd


Congratulations to the women's swim and dive team on winning the Concorde District for the second straight year, and on winning their third consecutive district title overall. The women defeated a talented Oakton team by the score of 475 to 458. The men also had a very successful meet, finishing 2nd to Oakton. The men had a tremendous meet overall despite losing to the Cougars by the score of 575 to 495.

This year's district meet was one of the most successful in years. Top to bottom, nearly everyone on the team posted either a personal best or season best time. There were five new individual team records set as well as one relay record:
  • Women's 200 freestyle relay (Alexandra Dicks, Darby Galbraith, Anna Keating, and Elizabeth Kuhlkin)
  • Alexandra Dicks in the 50 free and 100 backstroke
  • Anna Keating in the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke
  • Kyle Wu in the 100 breaststroke
In addition to new records we had several posted All-American performances:
  • Women's 200 medley relay (Darby Galbraith, Anna Keating, Maggie Shi and Anna Sullivan) earned an All-American consideration time
  • Anna Keating earned automatic All-American status in both the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke
  • Alexandra Dicks earned an All-American consideration times in the 50 free and 100 backstroke
  • Women's 200 freestyle relay (Alexandra Dicks, Darby Galbraith, Anna Keating, and Elizabeth Kuhlkin) earned automatic All-American status
  • Kyle Wu earned an All-American consideration time in the 100 breaststroke
  • Sam Duncan's performance in dive earned him All-American consideration. The final decision on All-Americans for dive will come out later in the spring.
