The Watertown High School boys swimming team enjoyed a historic day Friday at Nottingham High School en route to capturing its first Section 3 championship in school history.
The Cyclones won the Class A championship with 335 points. Watertown broke six school records and three Frontier League marks.
The Cyclones 200-yard medley relay took first place, capturing school and league marks. The team of George LaBarr, Michael Netto, Joey Ongkingco and Justin Ongkingco established a state qualifying time in 1 minute, 39.06 seconds.
Netto claimed first place in the 100 breaststroke with a time of 58.90, which broke school and league records and was a state qualifying time. Netto also set school and league marks in the 200 individual medley with a state qualifying time en route to placing third.
LaBarr set school records with state qualifying times in the 50 and 100 freestyle, finishing in times of 21.67 and 47.31, respectively. He finished second to Oswego's Drake Becksted in each event.
The Cyclones 200 freestyle relay also swam to a school record time. The team of Netto, Brad McKinney, Justin Ongkingco and George LaBarr finished second in 1:27.93.
Watertown head coach Jeff Ginger was named the section's Class A coach of the year.
Michael Netto sneaks in a few extra minutes of swimming whenever he can. The Watertown High School sophomore is the first to get in and the last to get out of the pool after practice. “I imagine I’m swimming a big race and just try to finish up with some hard yards before I get out,” Netto said. The effort has greatly benefitted him and the Watertown boys swimming team. Netto has gone undefeated in the 100-yard breaststroke and 200 individual medley while helping the Cyclones post a 12-0 overall, 11-0 Frontier League mark this season.
Shayne Watson wins Frontier League diving championship
Shayne Watson (Watertown) 376.15
Shayne Watson is a junior who has displayed great improvement this season and holds the league’s top score of 226.87, which is a Watertown school record. He surpassed Dave Dietrich’s score from 1974.
“One of the things that makes Shayne improve so rapidly is that he’s constantly trying to push his degree of difficulty,” Watertown boys swimming coach Jeff Ginger said. “He’s willing to try new things, and he’s quite brave on the diving board.”
Ginger’s favorite dive for Watson to execute is the reverse dive and pike. Watson is a quick study and largely self-taught, according to Ginger.
Dustin Pond’s name now stands at the top of the Cyclones’ career scoring list.
Needing just 10 points to move past former WHS standout Eddie Adams, the talented 6-foot-5 senior forward scored 16 points Monday in the Cyclones nonleague game against Bishop Ludden at WHS.
A varsity performer since his freshman season, Pond entered the game with 1,285 career points, while Adams led the list with 1,294.
Pond scored the first eight points of the game for WHS (6-8), then moved past Adams with a short hoop in the lane later in the quarter. He now has 1,301 career points.
"Academic All-Star"
Amelia "Mia" Capone
We are happy to announce that Mia will be attending Harvard University and will be playing Division 1 Lacrosse. She is ranked number one academically with a 97.4 average. Congratulations Mia!
Dustin scored his 1,000 points for Basketball on December 7th against Carthage. He became the 6th player in school history to do so. His goal is to break the top record at WHS.
Athlete Of The Week: George LaBarr
To say George LaBarr a strong swimmer is an understatement. He's undefeated in the 50 and 100 freestyles this year, and has already qualified for state competition.
