MVRCS downed Northeast 91-61 and outscored the Cougars, 97-68. Against Northeast, freshman Adrian Chang started the individual events and the first Eagles 1-2-3 finish in the 200 freestyle; coming in second and third were Junior Daniel Nguyen and eighth-grader Isabelle Pennachio. Junior Ramy El-Aafer continued in the 200 individual medley (IM) with a first-place finish and lifetime best in the event. Coming in second and third were freshmen Thomas Sodeyama-Cardoso and Lana Santos-Albuquerque. In the 50 freestyle, sophomore Jason Yan took top honors; junior Jeremy Cheng was first in the 100 freestyle, breaking the 50-second barrier, and freshman Jayden Anthony continued his phenomenal start as an Eagle by winning the 500 freestyle. The Eagle relays continued to excel and improve, achieving either a state or sectional cut on both the boy’s and girl’s sides in the 200 medley relay, 200 freestyle relays and the 400 freestyle relay. Through the first three meets, all relays on both sides have gained state cuts; individually six Eagles have already stamped their ticket to the state meet. Starting off the meet in home waters against Austin Prep, the Eagles medley relay of Cheng, Anthony, freshman Kevin Sodeyama-Cardoso and junior Armando Indresano took first, and the team of eighth-grader Dylan Phan, senior Matthew Loue, Thomas Sodeyama-Cardoso and Nguyen took third. In the next event, the 200 freestyle, Aiden Acuna, swimming in his first meet this year, absolutely obliterated the competition to a state cut time of 1:50.40 to win the event. Aiden’s time is also a top three time in the history of Mystic Valley swimming. Chang came in third with a lifetime best, and Santos-Albuquerque came in fourth in another lifetime best. In the 200 IM, Yan continued a great start to the season, winning in a state cut time of 2:12.05. Cheng tacked on firstplace finishes in the 100 butterfly and the 100 breaststroke; his breaststroke time was another state cut for Jeremy. Armando Indresano added two wins in the 50 and 100 freestyles, both in state cuts. In the 500 freestyle, junior Aiden Acuna-Rosa flew out to an over 30-second lead on the field in a state cut of 5:00.87, his second fastest swim ever. “I couldn’t ask for a better way to finish the first couple of weeks of the season; every swimmer came out to win today and it was a total team effort. The veterans on this team truly stepped up to the plate today as we can see with Jeremy, Aiden and Armando’s swims. Aiden particularly came out fast being it was his first swims of the year due to illness keeping him out of the first three meets.
