Liberty's boys second swim meet in two days resulted in a 71-30 victory over Easton last Thursday.

"With the Whitehall meet [the day before], we tried to rest people out because we thought Easton would be tougher. I thought it was going to be a lot closer because of their four-lane pool. We physically win meets by numbers," said Hurricane junior, Evan Smith.

Liberty's Sean Vannata, Nolan Vannata, Reid Rossi, and Jacob Jones opened the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay in 1:47.04.

Jones placed first in the 50 free in 23.52 and Smith placed second, while Smith took first place in the 100 free in 52.88 and Jones took second.

Smith said, "Going into the finish, you can't really tell [what's going on] two lanes over. You go faster when you see the splash. In the 50, he [Jones] got me by .1 or .2."

Alex Fitch won the 500 free in 5:28.63, Sean Vannata was first in the 100 backstroke in 59.05, and Nolan Vannata placed first in the 100 breaststroke in 1:07.69.

"In the 100 breaststroke, Nolan touched [Easton's Theo Goustos] out," said Smith.

Liberty's 200 free relay team took first place as Cole Ledger, Brandon Hlavaty, Smith, and Jones won in 1:34.40.

Hurricane swimmers, Brandon Merkel, Ledger, Smith, and Sean Vannata closed the meet with a first place finish in the 400 free relay in 3:39.58.

"I get kind of nervous [swimming third] because the anchor is depending on you to get a lead or bring you back if you're behind," Smith said.
