Chappaqua remained unbeaten at 4-0, while Birchwood has won two meets and lost just once.
"Chappaqua's depth was the difference and helped overcome five triple winners, four double winners, and a greater number of first place finishes by Birchwood," CST Head Coach Dan Levy reported.
With the score tied after diving at 20-20, Birchwood began to pull ahead and held a 67-60 lead after backstroke with 8 out of 10 first place finishes. Chappaqua then took 8 of 10 races in breaststroke, including three which were first and second CST finishes to pull ahead 136-118.
Birchwood closed the gap slightly after butterfly by taking 7 of 10 races, but Chappaqua maintained most of its lead by taking many second and third places in the races Birchwood won. After the fly, Chappaqua was up 189-174. The gap was closed a bit more after the freestyle as Birchwood again took 7 of 10 races. CST was up 243-230 heading into the relays. The teams split the points in the four relays to keep the final margin at 13 in favor of Chappaqua.
In the 18-Under girls 100 meter breaststroke, Isabella Weiner broke the team record by swimming a 1:19.98. The previous record of 1:20.13 was held by Zoe Kerrich and was set on July 30, 2012.
