The Scarborough swim teams were in Cumberland Friday night to take on Greely High. The Red Storm girls came away with a win, while the boys were on the short end of the final score.

On the girls’ side, Greely took the early lead with a win in the first event of the night, the 200-yard medley relay. However, with a second and third place finish, Scarborough trailed by just two points.

Nicole Harmon and Allison Rogers took the top two spots in the second race, the 200-yard freestyle, to give the Red Storm their first lead in the meet, 11-7. Greely’s Sam Wood took third in that race. The Scarborough lead remained at four points following Kelsey Ryan’s win in the 200-yard individual medley.

Greely reclaimed the lead in the next event. Jackie Andrews and Kristen Berube finished first and second in the 50-yard freestyle. Jane Roberge claimed a point for Scarborough, but the Rangers took an 18-16 lead. Ryan won the 100-yard butterfly, but the Red Storm could make no headway in the points due to the Rangers finishing second and third in the event. In the 100-yard freestyle, Greely doubled their lead by taking first and third place. Scarborough’s Christine Beecher was the runner up to earn three points and keep the meet close.

In the next event, the Red Storm took the lead for the second and final time. Maya Glab and Alison Reynolds took the top two finishing positions in the 500-yard freestyle to give their team a 30-28 lead.

In the 200-yard freestyle relay, Scarborough stretched their lead. Ryan, Rogers, Harmon and Brittanie Bradley won that race to earn six more points for their team. Their teammates also finished third in that race to earn seven total points. That gave Scarborough a 37-31 lead with three races left.

The Red Storm pulled away in those final three races. The first of the three was the 100-yard backstroke. Harmon picked up her third race win of the night including relays. She finished with four wins. That coupled with Christine Beecher’s third place finish, helped Scarborough stretch the lead to eight points.

Bradley won the penultimate event, the 100-yard breaststroke, and Glab took second to help the Red Storm clinch the win with a 49-35 lead. The Red Storm took first and third in the night’s final event, the 400-yard freestyle relay. They earned nine points in that event and walked away with a 56-38 win.

The Scarborough boys took the early lead with a first and third place finish in the opening race, the 200-yard medley relay. Their lead shrunk considerably in the second race, when Andrew Bowden and Andrew Burrell took first and third in the 200-yard freestyle. Arthur Hamill took second in that race for Scarborough.

Greely took over the lead for good in the 200-yard individual medley when they swept the top two positions. Craig Delisle took third in that race for Scarborough, but the Red Storm now trailed in the meet, 15-11. The margin didn’t change in the next race thanks to Peter Griffin and Thomas Spencer taking second and third in the 50-yard freestyle.

Scarborough got back within two points when Spencer won the 100-yard butterfly. Ryan Whelan took third for Scarborough. That was as close as Scarborough would get as Greely won the next three races in a row.

Nick Twomey took second in the 100-yard freestyle as the Greely lead continued to grow. Hamill was third in the 500-yard freestyle but Greely now held a 34-24 lead. Greely then took first and third in the 200-yard freestyle relay to stretch their lead to 41-27.

Twomey was the next Scarborough swimmer to get a win when he took the 100-yard backstroke. Adam Saltz was third for the Red Storm in that race, but the score still favored Greely, 44-32.

Scarborough took first and second in the 100-yard breaststroke with Delisle winning and Matt Couillard finishing second. That helped Scarborough close the gap. But they still faced a big deficit going into the final relay. Greely won that final relay and also took third to secure a 52-42 win.

With the win, the Scarborough girls improved to 4-0 on the year. They are scheduled to face Falmouth on Friday. The boys dropped to 2-1 with the loss. They will also take on Falmouth on Friday.
