This kid can FLY. Joe Parkhurst had a strong showing this morning in the preliminary round of the 50-yard freestyle at the New York State Swimming and Diving Championships at Ithaca College, breaking his own school record with a time of 21.14. This qualifies Joe for the finals tomorrow morning. Joe is also competing in the 100-yard breaststroke later today. Keep an eye out for updates from that race. Joe’s pictured below during warm ups at Ithaca. And yes, his hair is purple. We’d have preferred blue and orange but as long as he keeps breaking records, we’ll allow it.

Other team members are Gage Domes, Colton Spink, Jack Cusmano, Emmitt Vincton, William Franz, Mason Pappalardo and James Ackert. Congratulations, mathletes, on an incredible season!

Kudos to the Attica Boys Swim Team as they finished in 5th place at the Class C Sectionals in Bath-Haverling last night. Winning two sectional titles for the Blue Devils was junior Joe Parkhurst in the 50 free and 100 breaststroke. Joe's breaststroke time of 57.46 broke the school record he set just two days earlier. Attica's 200 Medley Relay team (Ethan Houghton, Matt Kingswell, Sam Dunlap, and Joe Parkhurst) finished in a strong second place while resetting a new school record with a time of 1:46.74. Joe Parkhurst was voted as the Most Valuable Swimmer for the Class "C" Sectionals..
