Indresano’s split of 21.48 anchored the team, and was second in the field only to Scituate’s Brian Hixson, who would eventually be the cham- pion later in the day in the 50 free. With a quick turnaround, Acuna-Rosa was back in the water in the 200 freestyle, capitalizing on a strong last 50 to fi nish in 1:46.50, a new lifetime best and the second fastest time in team history for a second-place fi nish. The scoring continued as Yan crushed his lifetime best in the 200 IM with a time of 2:06.52, dropping four seconds and moving up signifi cantly in the rankings to place 12th overall. Indresano then kept the strong fi nishes going in the 50 freestyle, using a great turn and perfect fi nish, touching the wall at 22.35, a lifetime best and good for fi fth place. In just four events the Eagles found themselves on the podium three times. After a short break, Cheng was up for his fi rst individual event of the day, the 100 butterfly, and he certainly delivered. Jeremy went stroke for stroke with Wayland’s Lucas Pralle and fi nished second with a new team record of 51.44 (formerly held by former Mystic standout Jake Williams, who is currently team Captain at Bryant University). Not to be outdone, Indresano was back up in the next sprint freestyle event, the 100. Utilizing a great last 25, he touched in 48.67, good for a fourth-place fi nish, breaking the record held for the last six years by 2016 graduate Christian Kinnon.

Heading into the 500 freestyle, Acuna-Rosa continued an incredible day and one of the best junior year campaigns in history with another team record and third-place finish in 4:50.93. The Eagles now had a strong hold on third place – trailing only Weston and Wayland. In the 200 freestyle relay, the phenomenal junior trio of Acuna-Rose, Indresano and Cheng teamed up with rising star Anthony. Cheng and Indresano had the crowd buzzing with dual splits of 21.99 and 21.91 to have the maroon & gold in fi rst place at the 100 mark. Anthony contributed with a lifetime best in the third leg, and Acuna-Rosa held on with a 22.25 split to secure a third-place fi nish. In the last individual race of the day for the Eagles, the 100 backstroke, Cheng completed a grueling double with only 10 minutes since his lead off leg in the 200 freestyle relay. Jeremy toughed it out for an eighth place fi nish in 56.11. Finally, in the last relay of the day, knowing they needed to score any points to hold onto third place, the Eagles showed off some of their young talent as Elaafer, Yan, Anthony and Phan teamed up for a 12th -place fi nish. This secured an overall team placing of third place. All four boys swam lifetime bests in the relay. “Between the girls meet on Saturday and this performance on Sunday my voice is completely gone. The boys came on a mission, and I believe truly surprised the swimming world in Massachusetts.
