7/10/2008 09:08AM

It was the Burke Centre Stingers over Franklin Glen Saturday at the Commons Pool in their third meet and third win of the season, 247-197! Highlighting the day was Matthew Osiecki who broke the 15-18 boys backstroke team record and the rest of the 15-18 boys who swept all their events! Matthew wasted little time as a first year 15-18 in taking down the backstroke record set by Jon Lowell in 1994 and improving on his 13-14 League record time that he set at All Stars last year. With a time of 29.39, Matthew bettered the previous record of 30.34 by nearly a second. Making up the rest of the 15-18 Stingers boys team and helping to take first, second, and third in all their events were Nick Leverone, Cameron Boster, Kyle Bumiller, and Peter Fields.

The Stingers ended the day with 33 Personal Best ribbons!
