CHAMBERSBURG – When the Chambersburg Memorial YMCA swimming squad splashes into the YMCA National Long Course Championships near the end of July, it’s safe to say that the Chargers will be ready.
Chambersburg put on a show for the home crowd at the Chargers Mid Season Long Course Invite, hosted by Mercersburg Academy Aquatic Center. Chambersburg’s boys won eight events and finished second out of 25 teams, while the girls finished third and crowned three champions.
The Charger boys were led by Cullen McGraw, who competed in the Open and 15 & Over divisions and claimed victories in the 400, 800 and 1,500 freestyle events, as well as the 100 and 200 backstroke races. Amir Tasker double-dipped for wins in the 100 and 200 freestyle, while Cristian Pong conquered the 50 butterfly.
On the girls side, Chambersburg was highlighted by wins from Xiomara Del Rosario (15 & Over 200 breaststroke), Calla Hoffman (13-14 200 backstroke), and Callie Cordell (9-12 200 backstroke).
Next up for the Chargers is a road trip to Ocala, Florida, on July 27-Aug. 2 for YMCA Nationals.
The YMCA of Hagerstown Gators have also been active, with the team competing at the WV CM Mid-Summer Invitational in Morgantown, West Virginia. The Gators placed eighth out of 25 teams and were led by strong meets from Haley Fuss, an 11-12 swimmer, and Charlotte Magaha, a 10U competitor. Fuss competed in nine events and landed four Top 5 finishes, while Magaha took on 10 events and recorded three Top 3 finishes.
Below is a meet-by-meet, event-by-event look at how club swimmers from the Local.News1.org coverage area have performed in recent weeks:
