The indoor track, swimming and skiing state championship meets provided great opportunities for city athletes to shine and shine they did.

Here’s a recap of who excelled on the big stage:

Swimming

Cheverus’ boys’ swim team captured its fifth successive Class A state title last week, scoring 286.5 points to hold off runner-up Bangor (258) and third place Brunswick (253).

The Stags got wins from Shane Moore in the 50 freestyle (21.28 seconds) and 100 free (46.64) and their 200 free relay team (Phineas Underwood, Moore, Quintin Hastings and Gustav Anderson, 1 minute, 30.64 seconds).

Cheverus was also third in the medley relay (Ben Tompkins, Moore, Raymond Le and Anderson, 1:41.90) and third in the 400 free relay (Underwood, Hastings, Chase Cameron and Tompkins, 3:29.89).

Underwood came in fifth in the 50 free (23.37) and tied for sixth in the 100 free (51.64). Cameron finished fifth in the 500 free (5:21.87) and was sixth in the 100 free (1:57.13). Hastings was fifth in the 200 individual medley (2:08.87) and eighth in the 100 free (1:58.47). Tompkins came in sixth in the 100 backstroke (58.29) and Anderson placed sixth in the 100 breaststroke (1:04.06) and eighth in the 50 free (23.43).

“It’s really amazing, especially to do it with just eight kids and no divers,” said longtime Cheverus coach Kevin Haley. “The kids swam really well. We had underclassmen really step up for great supporting roles in relays and individual events. Shane set a meet and school record in the 50 free and another school record in the 100 free. Freshmen Quintin Hastings and Chase Cameron were huge. I’m very pleased with this group that has been training hard all season. It was an entire team effort.”

Portland had 93 points to place ninth for the second year in a row. The Bulldogs were led by Reed Foehl, who was third in the IM (2:06.97) and fourth in the breaststroke (1:02.69). The Bulldogs’ 200 free relay team (Ben Salomon, Peter Gribizis, Foehl and Josh Ying) came in seventh (1:39.11).
