Bay Shore/Brentwood Swimming and Diving

Although Half Hollow Hills came away with the win on Tuesday night, our Lady swimmers showcased solid effort and determination in the pool. Leading the way was sophomore Hailey Bendersky, who broke her own varsity record in the 100-yard freestyle, touching the wall in 55.32 seconds—just a tenth faster than her previous best.

Despite a loss to Connetquot/East Islip last night, our Lady swimmers delivered some impressive performances—led by - sophomore Hailey Bendersky!

Hailey set a new varsity record in the 100-yard butterfly, breaking her own previous mark by 1.2 seconds with a time of 1:01.08. She didn’t stop there—Hailey also broke the 200-yard individual medley record, a record stood since 2002!
