The Cape Coral High School boys and girls swim teams came into the District 2A-10 championships as one of the favorites to win the team championship at Centennial Park in Port Charlotte on Saturday.

Well, the Seahawks did pretty much as expected, with the girls winning the overall team title and the boys barely missing out to Charlotte as runner-up.

Also, both the boys and girls had numerous swimmers who were able to make it to the top two and automatically qualify for next week’s regionals.

The Cape Coral girls won the team title comfortably by scoring 495 points, far ahead of Charlotte’s 368.

Cape Coral coach Dianne Kimble said while some teams rested their swimmers for districts, she did not, waiting for regionals before tapering.

“For them to swim today, some of them are pretty tired and sore. It’s nice to see how well they did, considering the fact they are still training hard,” Kimble said.

The Lady Seahawks won the 200-yard medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay and placed third in the 200 freestyle relay as a unit.

Individually, Melissa Blaine took first in the 200 individual medley and the 500 freestyle, while junior Madison Lehman won the 50 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. Junior Ania Kokosinski was second in the 100 backstroke and also advanced to regionals, while placing third in the 50 freestyle.

“Madison did great for us. She’s one of our captains and works very hard. There are a number of events she would have been successful in and she chose the 50 free and 100 butterfly,” Kimble said. “She’s also in our relays, so she’s key.”

“I had a great time. I had my teammates and coaches there and I had fun and raced,” Lehman said. “We all did amazing and I’m so proud of everyone. It was exciting. We all cheered each other on and it was a great experience.”

“The 500 was great. I was able to drop my time from last week and got my overall best. We’ve all been working so hard. This means a lot to us,” Blaine said, who’s just a sophomore.

Sophie Pellegrino, another sophomore, was third in the 200 IM and the 100 breaststroke.

Only the top two in each district advance to regionals automatically. The remaining 16 swimmers advance on time, meaning that those who finished outside the top two have to wait until the results are posted a day or two later. Third-place times are often good enough to advance.

The boys stayed much closer to Charlotte, but the Tarpons edged them out by a 473-429 margin.

In the relays, the Cape boys won the 200 medley and placed third in the 200 and 400 freestyle. Only the winner in relays advance automatically, the other 14 teams advance on times.

Lucca DaSilva was third in the 200 IM and Daniel Caicedo placed third in the 100 breaststroke. The Seahawks had many swimmers whose seed times placed them four deep in the final heats, giving them opportunities to score points.
