The Main Line produced a fine number of outstanding swimmers this past winter. At Conestoga, senior Jake Wang, who was named the Boys Swimmer of the Meet at the PIAA 3A Swimming and Diving Championships for the second year in a row, led the Pioneer boys team to a best-ever second-place finish. Lower Merion, led by senior Alexa Conner, who finished second in two individual events at States, finished ninth in the PIAA 3A girls team competition
Both Notre Dame's Devyn Sargent and Jacob Johnson of Springfield added their names to the Delco record board before heading off to prime college destinations - Yale and Minnesota, respectively.
The versatile sophomore, who was a first team All-Main Line swimmer as a freshman, is off to a great start this winter. A highlight was her performance in Notre Dame’s 96-90 win Jan. 17 against Episcopal Academy, the first Irish win over the Churchwomen in nearly two decades. Against EA, Kolessar finished first in the 100 breast, second in the 500 free, anchored the first-place 400 free relay with a split of 53.3 and was part of the first-place 200 medley relay.
