Swimming: Northern Region Championships

By Sam Dowell
Fairfax High School Senior

The Oak Marr Recreation Center was packed and the music was blaring Saturday evening as everyone got ready for the start of the 2008 Northern Region swimming championships. The field was as talented as ever and the rivalries just as competitive. It was a meet that saw eight new regional records set and one very unexpected ending.

The championsihps started out with a bang as Thomas Jefferson’s boys’ 200-yard medley relay team consisting of Wade Gong, Jonathan Christensen, Ben Tuben, and Matt Callahan set a new meet record with a time of 1 minute, 35.11 seconds in the first race of the night.
 
Matthew Bernacki represented the Chantilly Chargers well by breaking the 500-yard freestyle time previously held by Olympian Tom Dolan with a time of 4:30.43. The other individual boys’ record breaker was the junior Sean Fletcher from Madison who swam himself to record time of 49.30 in the 100-yard butterfly.

The night was capped off by Lake Braddock’s girls’ 400-yard relay team breaking another regional record with a time of 3:29.40. It was a fitting end for seniors Molly Emery and Ashley Danner, who were part of the relay team along with Sarah Lynch and Carly Ogren. For Danner and Emery, it was their third record-breaking finish of the day. Emery also set a new record in the 200- and 500-yard freestyle races while Danner showed great versatility by setting records in the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke.

On the team side, Fairfax’s girls’ came into the Northern Region championships poised to make some noise after a second-place finish to Robinson in the Concorde District finals. The Rams, meanwhile, came in looking for more success and a victory at regionals.

As it turned out, both teams got what they wanted.

Going into the final race of the day — the 400-yard freestyle relay — Fairfax held a mere one-point lead over Robinson. The Rams overcame the pressure and swam to a second-place finish in the relay, followed by Fairfax in third. The finish gave Robinson 17 points to add to is total while Fairfax earned 16.

In a rare and unforeseen ending, Fairfax and Robinson became co-regional girls’ champions with 294 points a piece.

There was far less drama on the boys’ side, where five-time defending state champion Robinson won the regional title and sit poised to make a run at an unprecedented sixth consecutive state title.
