The Nauset Girls Swim team captured first place out of 5 teams at the annual Cape Cod Classic swim meet held at Nantucket High school Sat. Jan 5th. The Warriors scored 117 pts. Other top schools in the hunt were Nantucket- with 87 and Barnstable with 67. Nauset led from the first event and never looked back.

Individual double event winners from Nauset were Shylee Stewart in the 50 free and 100 Breast, Julie Hayoun in the 200 free and 100 free and Marie Chamberlain in the 100 fly and 100 back. All 3 girls had state qualifying times in the process. Stewart was female swimmer of the meet, while Chamberlain broke the meet record in the 100 fly which was set in 2007 by Barnstable's Anna Cavanugh.

Nauset took first place honors in both the 200 medley relay (Chamberlain, Whitney Knowlton- Wardle, Hannah Walsh, Stewart) and the 400 freestyle relay (Chamberlain, Walsh, Hayoun, Stewart)

Hannah Walsh had 2 state qualifying swims- she placed 2nd in the 100 fly and 3rd in the 500 freestyle ( 5:46) which was her best time of the season. Annie Harris also had strong swims on the day, qualifying for state sectionals in both events. She placed 4th in the 500, and 3rd in the backstroke.

The 200 free relay team- (Molly Drake, Allie Dadoly, Knowlton-Wardle, Hayoun) placed 2nd with a state qualifying time of 1:51:56.
