ERIE, Pa. – The Warren swim teams traveled to Erie and lost a pair of excruciatingly close meets – 85-83 for the girls and 76-73 for the boys.

“It was their senior night and they were pretty geeked up,” said Warren coach Russ Beyer. “All of our kids swam hard. We had a lot of them that are under the weather and they gutted it out.”

Max Harrison had a strong meet for the boys, winning the 100 free and 100 back and teaming with Connor Fehlman, Derek Hahn and Tommy Rice to win the 200 medley relay.

“Max Harrison won the 100 free against their best freestyle swimmer and 100 back against their best backstroker. He had an awesome meet,” Beyer said.

Fehlman won the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke and Hahn the 100 fly.

“Derek Hahn swam very competitively,” noted coach Beyer. “Nick Gorton is really coming into his own in the breaststroke. As a first-year swimmer and senior he’s 4.5 seconds away from districts. I hope he makes it. He’s working hard.

“Jarod Peterson had a noticeable time difference in the 100 fly. Jarod reminds me of Connor (Fehlman) a little bit. Same type of mindset; just going to keep plugging away. Coaches love to have kids like that on their team. Ethan Monroe and Graham Carr also had some of their best times.”

The girls won both the 200 medley relay and the 400 free relay.

Paige Johnson took first in the 200 IM, as did Gabrielle Hahn in the 50 free and Katie Beyer in both the 100 fly and 100 backstroke.

“Paige Johnson had a good meet in her IM and her relay splits,” noted coach Beyer. “She almost broke a minute in her free relay split, which is a milestone.

“Grace Pennucci and Eva Turner put some good times up in the 50 and Seebe Proper and a good meet as well.”

The Dragons travel to Corry on Monday.

“The kids are excited for that one,” Beyer said.
