Hilton HighSchool swimming and diving coach Jeff Sadowski knew that the 2017-2018 season promised one thing for sure: his team would be young. This year’s version of Cadet swimming features a number of promising young swimmers on a roster mainly composed of underclassmen. The Cadets experienced growing pains early in the season, dropping meets to perennial powerhouse programs Pittsford and Webster. Swimming in their own Cadet Invitational, as well as The Shenandoah Hoilday Invitational, allowed for some strong early season times that were sure to catch coaches’ eyes around Section 5.
According to section5swim.com, several swimmers currently have posted top 40 results across Section 5. Freshman Jared Enser ranks in the 50/100/200/500 freestyle(s), 100 butterfly, 200 individual medley and 100 back stroke. Sophomore Payton LaBue ranks in the 100/200 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. Fellow sophomore Jack DiBitetto ranks in the 100 butterfly. Numerous other Cadet swimmers have also had very strong swims throughout the season.
With the Sectional meet (February 14 through 16) closing in, the Cadets have turned it up defeating Greece and Rush Henrietta over the course of one week. The team looks to continue its recent success in meets versus rival Brockport and the annual Westside Championships.
