Carlisle Country Club Killer Whales Capture 2018

Inter-Club Swim League Championship

CARLISLE - The Carlisle Country Club Swim Team capped off the 2018 season by defeating West Shore Country Club by the score of 401-306 on Tuesday, July 3, 2018. The win by Carlisle secured the 2018 Inter-Club Championship, ending Colonial Country Club’s 20-year reign as Inter-Club Champions.

Carlisle’s win ended an impressive 5-1 season record, tying the Club’s best regular season win total set last year.

“I am so proud of our swimmers,” said Carlisle Head Coach Chris Clark. “Winning a Championship is the ultimate reward for the hard work and dedication put in by all of our swimmers and coaches. I would also like to send a special thank you to all the parents that went over and above, working every meet, cutting vacations short, picking up swimmers early from camps and making sure every detail was addressed. It truly took a village to accomplish what we accomplished in 2018.”

Highlights of the season included a win against Colonial Country Club for the first time in over 40 years, along with victories against Outdoor, Harrisburg, Lebanon and West Shore Country Clubs, respectively.

Individual swimming records set included Mary Boone, in the girls 10 and under fly (17.64), Rebecca Freedman in the girls 13/15 fly (33.77), Aidan Metz in the boys 11/12 fly (32.63) and Joshua Metz in the boys 13/15 fly (29.60).

Team Records set, include the girls 10 and under 100 meter free relay, set by Alaina Bonanni, Mattie Boone, Mary Boone and Dara Williamson (1:10.42). The relay team of Bonanni, Boone, Boone and Williamson also set the 10 and under 100 yard free relay record at the 2018 Inter-Club Championships held at Harrisburg County Club on July 6, 2018. The team posted a time of 1:03:46 beating the previous record of 1:03:72 set in 2007 by Outdoor Country Club.

Also setting a new Inter-Club record was Aidan Metz (29.37) in the boys 12 and under 50 yard fly beating the previous record of 30.52 set in 2014.

“My biggest Thank You goes out to the Carlisle Country Club,” said Clark. “The Club opened the pool two weeks early providing us all the pool time needed. Any request we had was accepted. I am truly honored to be a part of the Carlisle Country Club Community.”

The 2018 campaign was the first time two assistant coaches were also swimmers and the first time the younger swimmers and mini team had six coaches. “The Assistant coaches and swimmer volunteers were outstanding,” said Clark.

The team set an attendance record and hosted three night meets for the first time in Club history.

The team celebrated the 2018 Championship season with a year-end pool party on July 6, 2018.
