Jersey Shore High School Swimming vs Shamokin

Final Score:
Boys: Jersey Shore – 58 Shamokin – 124
Girls: Jersey Shore – 110 Shamokin – 73

Shamokin started the meet off by singing a Christmas carol, wishing the Jersey Shore swim team “A Merry Christmas”. Coach Thompson and the rest of his squad stood across the pool from the largest swim team he has faced since he has been a member of the JS swim team. Both the coaches and team knew that with each lane being filled for every race by both Jersey Shore and Shamokin that the meet would come down to which coach put together the strongest line-up and who had the strongest swimmers. The meet ended with a win for each side; The Jersey Shore girl’s won 110 – 73 and the Shamokin boys won 124 – 58; moving the girls to 3-1 (2-1 league) and the boys 2-2 (2-1 league).


The Jersey Shore girls had won every race excluding the 400 Freestyle Relay and the Shamokin boys won every single race excluding the 100 Breaststroke which was taken by Ian Endersen; who had the only first place against the Montoursville boys as well. The Jersey Shore girls had a spectacular meet, showing off their depth and strength. Shore finished 1-2-3 in both the 200 IM and the 100 Fly; the girls also finished 1-2 in another astonishing five races. Madalyn Thompson lived by her moto “Show Up and Blow Up” finishing first in all four of her races; demolishing two of their pool records (one set previously by her and the other by Lewisburg). The relay of Jamie Mason, Katie Flook, Addison Crawley and Madalyn Thompson missed another pool record by eight one-hundredths of a second. Jersey Shore’s next showing will be at the Arctic Swim Invitational at Clearfield High School on Saturday, January 8 2011.
