Raiders edging the Panther foursome in the 200 yard medley relay in an
intense race. Jeff Wood, Jon Roberts, Matt McGraw, and Cyrus Salehi finished
in 1:37.49, a Pittsford pool record, automatic All-American time, and top
New York state time this season. Pete Letteney, Nick Mihaljevic, Hans Feng,
and Tim Jacobs placed fourth, and Chris Razavi, Reed Smith, Alex Hensel, and

in a fast 22.60 seconds, Cyrus Salehi third in 23.10 and Adam Craghead sixth
in 24.96. At this point the meet was close with Pittsford holding a 35-27
lead.

level of intensity of this meet with their best performances of the season.

Roberts then blazed to his second win of the meet in the 100 butterfly with
a pool record 51.44, again tops in the state this year. Feng and Craghead
were third and sixth.
McGraw finished second in the 100 free with a solid 50.10 second swim, Cyrus

sixth in 5:28.09.
