The Jericho Jayhawks varsity girls swimming team finished the 2024 regular season with a 3-4 record, highlighted by a last-minute 92-88 win over Manhasset.
The team was led by seniors Edeline Jung, Kristen Counsell and Kuipi Lam. During the season, sophomore Yuna Lee had a breakout year, ending the season leading the team with 579.20 pts.
Yuna finished the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 25:52, which ranks fourth fastest in school history. She also now holds the third-fastest 100-yard backstroke record and the second-fastest butterfly and 50-yard backstroke in school history. She is very proud of her accomplishments and believes it was a team effort.
“My individual achievements, like setting records and making the state cut, mean a lot, but varsity swimming is truly a team sport. Each individual success is accounted for by the whole team,” she said.
