The 2016 Eastern Interscholastic Swimming and Diving Championships kicked off this morning at La Salle University with Penn Charter and Peddie displaying some explosive swims.\u00a0Swimming World<\/em> was on site to live stream and record the races for your viewing pleasure.<\/p>\n

Jared Fitzergald<\/strong> of Peddie turned in a time of 1:40.97 to return as tonight’s top seed for the men’s 200 free. He’ll be joined by\u00a0Matt Haigh<\/strong> of Haverford (1:41.01) and\u00a0Andrew Zhugayevich<\/strong> of Mercersburg (1:41.10) in the top three.<\/p>\n

Penn Charter’s\u00a0Reece Whitley<\/strong> posted a prelims time of 1:51.39 to claim the top seed for the men’s 200 IM. Whitley’s entry time was a 1:49.43, not too far off the meet record of 1:48.10 from 1998, leaving one to wonder if tonight a new meet record will occur.\u00a0Reona Yamaguchi<\/strong> (1:53.94) of Peddie and teammate\u00a0Noah Housekeeper\u00a0<\/strong>(1:55.94) return tonight as the second and third seed respectively.<\/p>\n

Episcopal’s\u00a0Emma Seiberlich<\/strong> turned in a swift 1:50.88 to claim first in prelims of the women’s 200 free. Mercersburg\u00a0Lindsay Tanner<\/strong> returns tonight as the second place seed with a 1:52.38, and Germantown Academy’s\u00a0Karlee Carminati<\/strong> returns as third with a 1:53.40.<\/p>\n

Seiberlich delivered another top time in the women’s 100 fly with a time of 55.16, a time which stands only .99 seconds off the meet record of 54.1 from 2013.<\/p>\n

Alex Sumner\u00a0<\/strong>of Episcopal dashed ahead of the competition in the women’s 200 IM, stopping the clock at 2:02.86.\u00a0Maddie Aguirre\u00a0<\/strong>of Agnes Irwin took second overall in prelims with a time of 2:07.29, while third went to Mercersburg’s\u00a0Stephanie Downing\u00a0<\/strong>(2:08.15).<\/p>\n
