December 19, 2004 - The Fairport High School swim team competed at
the Owego Invitational on Dec. 18. This meet included 8 teams from across
New York State, including some of the best such as Pittsford, Shenendehowa,
Newburgh, and Vestal.
The Red Raider quartet of Jerry Woytash, Jake Fisher, Hans Feng, and Aram
Salehi finished 4th in the 200 yard medley relay in 1:46.98. Pete Koenig,
Chris Razavi, Connor Harrington, and George Wasickanin placed 11th. In the
200 yard freestyle, Jeff Wood held off a tough Pittsford opponent in a pool
and meet record time of 1:43.40, also the fastest time in NY State this
year. Jim Beaudry placed 6th in 1:55.90, and Salehi was 7th in 1:57.70. Tim
Jacobs finished in 2:03.07, and Wasickanin in 2:11.92.
Jeff Kaemmerlen was 2nd in the 200 individual medley in 2:03.70, barely
touched out at the finish. Fisher was 6th in 2:07.72, and Razavi added more
points in 13th in 2:17.38. Feng placed 10th in the 50 freestyle in 24.00
seconds. Other Red Raider swimmers were Woytash in 25.77, Nate Morales in
27.30, Harrington in 27.31, Dietrich Pate in 27.85, and John Jacobs in

57.69, Woytash 15th in 1:04.88, and Koenig swam in 1:06.86. Kaemmerlen

freestyle, Salehi was 5th in 5:19.78, and J. Jacobs finished in 6:51.56.
Fairport has a long tradition of outstanding relay performances, and this
meet was no exception. In the 200 yard freestyle relay Kaemmerlen gave the
Red Raiders an early lead, Beaudry and Salehi swam solid legs, and Wood
closed with a very fast split to get Fairport the win in 1:31.32. T. Jacobs,
Harrington, Morales, and Razavi placed 14th.
Razavi notched the #8 spot in the 100 backstroke in 1:02.19, Koenig was 12th
in 1:05.37, and Pate swam in 1:15.59. Fisher earned the 4th Red Raider
victory with a 1:02.19 swim in the 100 yard breaststroke, another exciting
race. T. Jacobs was 14th in 1:13.93, and Harrington touched the wall in
1:16.33.
The final event of the meet was one of the most exciting. The 400 yard
freestyle relay foursome of Kaemmerlen, Beaudry, Feng, and Wood won a very
close race in 3:20.10, with Wood’s split of 46.60 seconds key to securing
the win. Woytash, Wasickanin, T. Jacobs, and Fisher finished 8th .
As a team, Fairport placed 3rd overall.
