At the Section 5 Championship Meet, Stone broke a 21-year-old state record in the 500 freestyle. The returning champion and senior now enters into the state championships at 4:46.80, six seconds ahead of the field. Stone also claims the first seed in the 200 free, an event in which she was runner-up last year.<\/p>\n<p>Stone is not the only talent that New York has to offer this year. Pittsford will face a tough field of competition, as New York\u2019s elite high school meet promises to bring together a number of dynamic stand-outs.<\/p>\n<p>In the 50 freestyle, Pelham\u2019s <strong>Katherine Douglass<\/strong> leads at 22.32, over a second faster than the rest of the pack. Douglass\u2019 time broke <strong>Dara Torres<\/strong>\u2019 National Age Group Mark for ages 13-14 at the Section 1 Championship Meet. Additionally, Douglass enters the 100 freestyle as the number one seed and the only woman under 50 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>In the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke, returning champion <strong>Kristen Romano<\/strong> looks to bring home two more golds for Long Beach. Teammate <strong>Margaret Aroesty<\/strong>, last year\u2019s champion in the 100 breaststroke, currently sits at 10th seed, but looks likely to make a vertical leap in the rankings. <strong>Olivia Jack<\/strong> from Burnt Hills-Scotia Glenville, last year\u2019s runner up in 100 breaststroke, currently rests on top as the competitors enter preliminaries.<\/p>\n<p>The 200 I.M. promises to bring together a large group of veterans from last year\u2019s top ten, including top seed Aroesty, the returning gold medalist. Also of note among the eight returners to the top ten are <strong>Olivia Sapio<\/strong>, seeded second, and <strong>Katrina Wardner<\/strong>, seeded ninth, who are both seniors from Orchard Park.<\/p>\n<p>Psych sheets are available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nyhsswim.com\/Results\/Girls\/2016\/NYS\/Live\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agon is the proud sponsor of all high school coverage (recruiting, results, state championships, etc.) on SwimmingWorld.com.
