Charlottesville High School boys and girls swimming rolled Saturday to a double victory in the Conference 23 swim meet.
The Black Knights’ boys team outscored second place Fluvanna 116-101 while the girls outpaced Harrisonburg 121 to 60, with Fluvanna checking in at 59 points for third place.
Zach Greenhoe and Ben Veale did a lot of the heavy lifting for the Black Knights’ boys squad, playing a role in 6 total titles between them. Greenhoe won the 200-free and 400-free while Veale took the 200-IM and 400-free. The two also swam legs on both the 400-free relay and 200-medley relay title squads. Liam McCarthy and Cole McMahon-Gioeli swam the other two legs of the 400-free team while McMahon-Gioeli and Jonah Franke-Fuller swam the other 200-medley legs. The 400-free team won by more than 40 seconds.
McMahon-Gioeli also won the 100-free as part of the Black Knights’ big day.
Fluvanna’s second place boys squad got a big lift from two individual winners. Bryce Campanelli, who’s headed to Brown University as a diver, won the diving title and Alex Sprouse snagged a big win in the 100-breast. Sprouse also took fourth in the 50-free.
Fluvanna’s 200-medley relay team took third as did the 200-free team.
Charlottesville’s girls got the job done largely on depth, winning just three total events on the day while picking up big points in the lower places. In the 100-breast for example, the Black Knights swept third through sixth place.
Anna Perry set the pace for the Black Knights with wins in the 200-free and 100-fly and the Black Knights 400-free relay team also picked up a championship.
The Fluvanna girls won a pair of big relays starting with the 200-medley with Lauren Cabrera, Stephanie Nardone, Alyssa McIver and Maddie Messier. The second win came in the 200-free relay with McIver, Nardone, Messier and McIver joining Lauren Cabrera for the title.
Individually, Anna Hurdle won the dive for the Flucos while Nardone rolled to a pair of individual wins in the 50-free and the 100-free.
Louisa County’s boys and girls squads finished fifth and sixth respectively. Louisa diver Cameron Stanley took second in the dive, accounting for the bulk of the Lions’ scoring.
