Maddy Baylor – So. – Maddy specializes in the freestyle sprint events. She had a great freshman year, and we are looking to build on that potential for her sophomore year.
Maeve McCormick – So. – Our top-scorer at meets of the underclassmen last year, Maeve is a versatile swimmer who primarily swims the distance freestyle events. Maeve was one of 4 swimmers on the team to qualify for the Skyland Conference meet last year. She has a lot of potential and we are looking to hone in on that for her sophomore year.
Key Newcomers:
Ayanna Elston – Fr.

2022 Outlook: The Phillipsburg Swim Team is in a very competitive conference. Though our dual meets may be tough to win, we are looking forward to improving on individual times and showing great improvement on individual events, as well as at our conference and county meets.
