GO STAGS!&#8221;<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>A versatile swimmer, Pappas does her club swimming with Upper Main Line YMCA and won the 200 fly and 400 IM at the YMCA East District Championships in March. She finaled in the 200 fly at YMCA SCY Nationals in 2019 and finished 11th in that event at the LCM meet last summer.<\/p>\n<p>Her best times include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>100 back &#8211; 55.80<\/li>\n<li>200 back &#8211; 2:01.87<\/li>\n<li>100 fly &#8211; 55.71<\/li>\n<li>200 fly &#8211; 2:03.95<\/li>\n<li>200 IM &#8211; 2:06.81<\/li>\n<li>400 IM &#8211; 4:24.34<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Also competing for Phoenixville Area High School, Pappas is a six-time Pennsylvania 3A State Championship finalist.
