BOSTON – After years of being the Cinderella story without the fairy-tale ending, Weston was the belle of the ball for the second year in a row.

Dating back to 1999, Weston has been the runner-up in the girls swimming state championships an astounding 16 times between Division 1 and Division 2 competition, but now own back-to-back state Division 2 titles with their victory at the Boston University Fitness and Recreational Center.

Weston outpaced the field with 230 points as Mystic Valley Charter School placed for the first time in school history with a second-place finish, collecting 194 points.

Rounding out the top six programs in Division 2 were last-year’s runner-up Longmeadow (180) in third place, Dover-Sherborn (152), Triton (146), and the Amherst Hurricanes with 138 points and the sixth place slot.

Head coach Jim McLaughlin, who has been with the Weston program in various roles since the 2007-08 season, knows he has something special brewing with his team.

“This felt really good. We have three amazing seniors (Olivia Scully-Power, Nola Dickie and Amy Robson) that came with us here, and to do it for them, they have been the heart and soul of the team,” said McLaughlin. “So, to win it for them is awesome and to get (the championship) for only the third time in team history it just feels really good, and this is a special group.”

The first title for Weston came in 2015 and now a dynasty is building.

Despite not one first-place finish in any of the 12 events, the depth of the roster was highlighted throughout the event with junior Kate Krueger leading the way.

Krueger placed in every event she competed in and earned second place in the 200-yard individual medley (2:11:28), picked up 16 points in third place for the 500-yard freestyle event, and was instrumental in two of the final relay events for Weston.

Kruger was the second leg on the second-place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay and was the lead swimmer in the final event to cap off the win for the Wildcats along with Robson, Madeline Young and Margaret Liu for the 400-yard freestyle relay with a third-place finals time of 3:47.05

“Overall, as a team, we always build off of each other and if you see us on the deck we are always in a huddle, hyping each other up and so I think part of the reason we succeed so well is we are always there for each other,” said Krueger. “Going back-to-back is really cool and to just be a member of this amazing group of swimmers and go back-to-back is awesome.”

Other notables were Mystic Valley’s 200-yard medley relay team that pulled a first-place finish right out of the gates as Sydney Cao, Britney Naviga, Isabelle Pennachio, and Lana Santos Albuquerque put the Eagles on the map with a finals time of 1:53.52.

The Eagles were a surprise frontrunner in team competition until the diving results finished as Caroline Janis (fifth place) and Savana Ferrucci (eighth) placed in the top 10 and vaulted Weston into the top spot for good. Maddie Reif (Norwell-South Shore Tech) took home first place in the 1-meter dive with a score of 316.65

McLaughlin wouldn’t quite commit to a third trip to the podium next season.

“Kate has been awesome for us all season long. Most of the season she was only 200 and 500 for us, but at our league meet we switched her over to the IM and she was phenomenal, so we kept her in there for sectionals and states,” said McLaughlin. “We’ll see about that, it’s a little early to think about that but we have a great returning group.”
