It was the last meet of the season.

It was senior night, the last time five boys would wear Fairport gear in a regular season meet.

The stands at the Fairport pool were packed with supporters and the teams were ready for annual showdown between two of the areas best swimming programs. The heavily favored Panthers from Pittsford set the tone for the meet by starting fast and winning the 200 medley relay in 1:42.16 with the Red Raiders team of Peter Koenig, Jake Fisher, Dylan Scheemaker and Aram Salehi taking second in 1:43.87. Pittsford followed with a 1 - 2 finish in the 200 freestyle with Nathan French swimming a winning time of 1:48.69. Fairport's Jim Beaudry picked up a third place finish.

Jake Fisher was one of only two first place winners for Fairport when he swam a fast 2:02.93 in the 200 individual medley. In the 50 freestyle, Fairport's Salehi (23:44) and Scheemaker (24:36) finished second and third to keep pace with Pittsford's 1 - 4 finish.

In one-meter diving, Raider Pat Dineen battled Panther Sean Hingel for first place, but the Pittsford diver prevailed 195.05 to 192.85.

Then in the 100 butterfly the Panthers showed why they have gone undefeated for more than three years as they swam to a 1 - 2 finish with the winning time of 57:10. A good swim of 57.71 by Koenig captured third in the event for the Raiders.

Fairport's Beaudry touched the wall in 51:26 in the 100 freestyle, but it was a fraction of a second behind Pittsford's first place Andrew Kuter (51:11).

In the 500 freestyle, the crowd was treated to a remarkable swim by Pittsford's Sean McManus covering the distance in 4:46.37. His swim was more than 13 seconds faster than the state qualifying time. Fairport senior Jerry Woytash swam to a third place finish in the same event.

The Raiders' 200 free relay team of Salehi, Scheemaker, Fisher and Beaudry swam a good time of 1:33.70, and earned a second place finish. Then Fairport sophomore, Peter Koenig, temporarily halted Pittsford's dominance by swimming a great 100 backstroke in a winning (and state qualifying) time of 56.88.

In the next event, the 100 breast, Red Raider, Chris Razavi, swam 1:04.37 to take second place and teammate Connor Harrington finished fourth. Fairport ended the meet with the team of Salehi, Beaudry, Fisher and Koenig swimming to a second place finish in the 400 freestyle relay. The final score favored Pittsford 119 - 67.
