School: English swimmers earn first win

The Lynn English swim team relied on strength in numbers to earn its first victory of the season on Monday morning at the Peabody YMCA, 93-73, over the host Tanners.
?Mostly everybody was able to make it today after we swam shorthanded our last time out and it made a world of difference,” said Bulldogs coach Lisa Trahant. “Every individual factored into a great team effort.”
The Bulldogs got first-place finishes in seven events, including a sweep in the 50-yard freestyle.
Sophomore Emma Trahant touched first with a time of 30.37 before freshman Devin Curley (33.06) and sophomore Kylie Moorehouse (33.08),
English (1-2) earned 13 points in the event.
?It was only the fourth race so that allowed us to get off to an exciting and strong start,” said Trahant.
Prior to the sweep, the visitors had a top-two finish in the 200-yard freestyle, won by Frances Serwicki (2:29.85), just ahead of sophomore teammate Daria Fabrizio (2:35.40).
Serwicki factored in on two relay wins in the 200-yard medley (2:10.56) and 400-yard freestyle (4:25.50), along with Marina Broufas, Matt Bruno and senior Jesse Freeman on both relays.
