Great Work at the 2023 Senior Mets!

 

Congratulations to our athletes who raced at the 2023 Senior Metropolitan Championships in East Meadow, NY!

Ryan teamed up with Satya Agashiwala, Rodin McKenna, and Eric Slavin to set new Metropolitan Swimming and AGUA Swim Team records in the 200 freestyle relay. Ryan, Satya, and Eric also combined with Jagger Stachtiaris for a new AGUA Swim Team record in the 200 medley relay.
 
On the women's side, Mia Slowik, Carter Roebuck, Abi Greenberg, and Azana Karim set a new AGUA Swim Team record in the 200 freestyle relay. Overall, the team brought home nine medals as well as runner-up honors in the combined and women's team scoring!
