ITHACA — School records were broken and medals were brought home after the Saratoga Springs varsity boys swim team competed in the New York State Federation Championships in Ithaca earlier this month.
Blue Streak Anderson Baird placed 4th in the 200 IM A Final with a school record-breaking time of 1:50:72. He also placed 7th in the 500 freestyle with another school record-breaking time of 4:38:70.
The 200 Medley Relay team of Baird, John Gregory, Anthony Sanchez, and Preston Arnold finished 7th in the A Final with a time of 1:35:75, good enough to smash yet another school record. Then in the 400 Free Relay, the same team finished 5th in the finals with (you guessed it) a school record-breaking time of 3:12:72.
As a team, Saratoga placed 9th overall with a score of 105.
