Sachem East’s Jessica Freund Qualifies for State Championships

Sachem East senior Jessica Freund qualified for the New York State Championship meet in the 100-yard butterfly with a time of :59.71. Freund will be competing at the state meet for the third consecutive season.

While it’s great to qualify this early in the season, Freund has over a month to qualify in more events and really finish off her high school career on top.

“I would love to see her win the county title and challenge some of the best swimmers on the state level in Ithaca on November 17-18,” said Sachem East swim coach, Kathleen Dugan.

Against Connetquot last week, she also reset her own school record in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 1:58.42.

“Jessica came into the season in the best shape of her career and I’m excited to see where this season can go,” said Dugan.

The team is 3-1 and have had great step up swims from a very young team this season.
