Sophomore Sam Johnson finished second in the 100-yard breast stroke at a tri-meet held September 27 at the UNO Lakefront Aquatic Center.
The Blue Jay swimmers defeated teams from Mandeville, Holy Cross, and Brother Martin. Bret Hanemann ’85, who is the head coach of Jesuit’s swim team, says the Jays are focused on qualifying for the state meet that takes place November 16-17 in Sulphur, LA. The team will compete Wednesday, October 3 in an invitational event at Chalmette.
Since Hurricane Isaac interfered with the regular schedule, the league has used tri-meets and quad-meets in which schools compete against several opponents too make up for cancellations and lost time. The team practices daily from 5:15-7 a.m. at the UNO swimming facility.
Jesuit’s top finishers from the September 27 meet are as follows:
| 200 Free | 1st Sophomore Michael Conrad | 4th Junior Conway Bellone |
| 200 IM | 2nd Sophomore Francis Plough | 4th Freshman Landon Lavigne |
