Pingree Swim Team Shines at NEPSSA Meet, Capped With NEPSAC Title for Leo Bertone '25

Pingree School is proud to highlight the accomplishments of its swim team after one of its strongest seasons in program history. "There's a tremendously tight family-type bond that exists between swimming teammates; they push each other and they thrive together," Coach Brian Carver shared. "This is a team primed for continued growth and I'm so proud of their efforts."

After qualifying at the EIL championship meet in February, eight swimmers for the Highlanders scored points at the New England Prep School Swimming Association (NEPSSA) championship meet on March 4, 2023. Anabella Zullo '26, Leo Bertone '25, and Kira Nielson '24 earned top-10 finishes at the meet. Bertone earned a gold medal in the 100-yard freestyle event and was honored as a NEPSSA champion and All-NEPSAC First Team.

The girls team finished third at the EIL championship meet, where every swimmer on the team earned points in two events, the maximum allowed.

Pingree Director of Athletics and Afternoon Programs Betsy Kennedy added, "I'm so proud of our Pingree Swim team! Their dedication and determination this season resulted in one of the team's best seasons yet. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this growing program!"
