Seabreeze headlined last week's Volusia-Flagler high school swimming action with a pair of runner-up finishes at its district meet. Here's a look.
Volusia-Flagler high school swimming teams are set to participate in district and regional meet-ups. After 3A and 4A hosted their own regionals last week, classes 1A and 2A concluded their district meets. DeLand's boys team claimed ninth place at the Region 1-4A meet, while Spruce Creek's girls secured an 11th-place finish. Flagler Palm Coast settled into a respectable second place overall on both boys' and girls' scoreboards.
At the DeLand boys meet, Owen O’Neil contributed to three top-eight finishes, including fifth and eighth places in the 50-yard and 100-yard freestyle events, respectively. Gramling also secured a seventh-place finish in the 100-yard butterfly. Alexander Rudik was FPC's only top-eight swimmer, finishing eighth in the 100-yard backstroke. Spruce Creek's girls team placed 16th in the boys leaderboard and 6th in the girls events.
The Class 4A state meet is scheduled for Nov. 7 at FAST in Ocala. Meanwhile, the Region 1-3A meet took place on Oct. 27 at Hunter Pool in Gainesville. New Smyrna Beach girls' team placed 8th with 113 points, with Sydney Conlan claiming 4th in the 500-yard freestyle and 2nd in the 200-yard freestyle. The boys team placed 14th with 51 points.
Local teams such as DeLand, Spruce Creek, and Matanzas qualified for the Class 3A state meet on Nov. 6 at FAST. District winners include Seabreeze Sandcrabs, who secured second place in both boys' and girls' categories.
