Three Scarsdale Girls Swim to the Eastern Zones

Three 5th grade girls from Scarsdale, Anya Pabby (Fox Meadow), Julia Gurden (Greenacres), and Joy Jiang (Fox Meadow) were part of the 10 and Under Team at the USA Swimming Eastern Zone Championship Swim Meet in Webster, NY from March 27th - March 29th, 2014. The girls were part of the Metropolitan Swimming LSC (Local Swimming Committee) Zone Team, which includes New York City, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, and Sullivan Counties in New York State. To qualify to swim an event on the Metropolitan Zone Team, a swimmer needed to finish in the top 3 at the Metropolitan LSC Zone Qualifying Swim Meet in February of 2014.

The Eastern Zone Meet is a wonderful opportunity to meet other New York swimmers, and to compete against the best swimmers on the East Coast. The Metropolitan Zone Team won the award for the highest points in the 10 and Under category, and each team member was awarded a special pin.

Joy and Julia swim for the Westchester Aquatic Club Wolverines and thank Carle Fierro, Jonah Montgomery, and all of the coaches. Anya swims for Badger Swim Club and thanks Kip Fierro and the other coaches. Anya and Joy are in the same class at Fox Meadow School, and would like to thank their teacher, Mrs. Berger, for her support. Julia is in Mr. Crasson's class at Greenacres School and she can't thank him enough for his enthusiasm and flexibility throughout the year.
