Malden High Swim Team host Senior Night Honors

By Steve Freker

The Malden High School Swim Team honored the seniors in their final home meet of the year on Thursday, January 16 against Lynn Classical. The honor ceremony was held at the Barry Fitzpatrick Pool at Malden High School. Honored at the ceremony – hosted by Head Coach Jess Bisson and Assistant Head Coach Julie Grillon – were Sarahy Escobar Ayala, Marie Cheng, Dante Federico, James Lin, Hailey Tran, Gordon Zeng, James Zhou and manager Lanyu Liang.

Before the Malden seniors were announced, the team presented flowers to the senior members of the Lynn Classical team in a fine showing of goodwill.

To top off the day, the team was able to pull out a big win over the visiting Lynn Classical and another win this week at Somerville High to improve to 6-1 overall (6-1 GBL) and stay in the hunt for a sixth consecutive Greater Boston League Championship.

It was a touching ceremony as Coach Bisson introduced each senior team member with an individual greeting and recap of their careers with Malden High Swim.
