Wolves moved to 6-0 on the season.

On Wednesday, April 7, John Jay defeated Mamaroneck, 96-75, and
Rye/Rye Neck/Blind Brook, 98-79. Out of the gate, the relays had John
Jay come together well. Olivia Lind, Symantha Ehnes, Rachele Bach-
mann, and Marisol Tan took the 200 Medley Relay against both teams,
and Lind, Jessie Crane, Lexi Riolo, and Tan did the same in the 200 Free-
style Relay.

Individually, Tan won the 50 and 100 Freestyle versus both opponents,
Madison Edwards swept in the 200 Individual Medley, and so did Emma
Richman in the 500 Freestyle. Richman also took rst versus Mama-
roneck in the 200 Freestyle, and nally, Ines Nix took rst in the dive
against Rye.

On ursday, the girls again relied on their relays. Lind, Ehnes, Bach-
mann, and Tan took rst in the 200 Medley Relay and Edwards, Crane,
Riolo, and Richman got gold in the 200 Freestyle Relay.

By themselves, Crane won the 200 Freestyle and Maya Luongo took
the 50 Freestyle, and above board, Nix, Madison Geary, and Lauren De-
Lucia nished one-two-three without opponents. Even so, Coach Meg
Kaplan knows what she has in her divers.

“All three ladies are in the Top 15,” she said.
And overall, the coach obviously likes what she’s seen so far.
“ e team continues to do well and push one another. ey have been
lowering their times and moving up in the rankings,” she concluded.
