TOMS RIVER – The song remains the same for one of the most dominant swim programs in New Jersey: Christian Brothers Academy won the Shore Conference boys swim championship for a remarkable 32nd consecutive time. The Colts won all three relay races along with three more individual titles. Luke Condon won the 50 and 100 free and was on two of the three champion relay teams. Kiernan Leary rounded out CBA’s dominance as the 500 free champion.
Holmdel was the runner-up with Hunter Kuenzel winning the 200 freestyle. Ranney’s Daren Chen set the record in the 200 individual medley, giving the Two River area eight of the 11 individual champions.
On the girls’ side, Trinity Hall was paced by wins in the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay, along with Maxine Camillone’s individual win in the 100 butterfly. The Red Bank Regional girls had an outstanding effort to finish as the runner-up, with school records set in the 400 freestyle relay – Amira Washington, Maya Freeman, Sogia Schweers and Anna Haggerty – and the 200 freestyle relay.
