Coach John Leonard's Brothers coasted to their
second straight league crown in swimming this
year. Racking-up a perfect 10-0 league record,
CBA's mermen were never routed.
However, non-league meets proved to be
CBA's undoing. After an impressive win against
Utica — Notre Dame, the swimmers lost a
heartbreaker to state-ranked Vestal. Later in the
year, the state's number one team, Liverpool,
trounced the mermen. State-ranked Rome Free
Academy did a similar job.
Coaches john Leonard and lack Hyde are opti­
mistic about the future. Losing only four sen­
iors to graduation, the nucleus of the team is
the sophomore class, with ten swimmers. CBA
will be out to improve upon this year's 11-3
mark next year .. . Liverpool is already shaking!
