Still riding high from a first-time-in-a-long-time victory over Parkland, Liberty's boys swimming team defeated Whitehall 183-87 last Wednesday.
"It was awesome," said Hurricane senior, Sean Vannata, regarding the victory over the Trojans. "We went in knowing we could stand a chance, so we said, let's swim our hardest and see where it goes. After going one and two in the medley relay, we knew we stood a chance."
The Hurricanes carried that momentum with them in their meet against the Zephyrs.
"It's a huge momentum. We're 4-0. We're going to train over Christmas break, and try and carry over the wins," Vannata said.
Liberty opened the meet against the Zephyrs with a 1-2-3 finish in the 200 medley relay. Alexis Calderon, Anthony Delcorso, Reid Rossi, and Jacob Jones placed first in 1:50.28.
The Hurricanes also had 1-2-3 finishes in the 200 IM, 50 free, diving, 100 free, 100 backstroke, and 100 breaststroke.
First place winners in the individual events were Vannata in the 200 IM in 2:15.75, Eric Angeny in the 50 free in 24.65, Meryum Okumus in diving with 138.65 points, Jones in the 100 free in 53.41, Rossi in the 100 back in 1:03.01, and Delcorso in the 100 breast in 1:10.89.
The Hurricanes also won the 200 free relay as Brandon Hlavaty, Chase Ledger, Jones, and Evan Smith swam to a first place finish in 1:34.42.
"With Parkland, we were the underdogs, so we said let's chase these guys down. With Whitehall, they were the underdogs, but you can never underestimate your opponent," Vannata said.
