Season outlook: Paione owns the school record in the 200 individual medley and will shoot for more this season. EL looks for big contributions from Paradis, Giberti, Dube, Cowan, Hayes and Chiriyath on the girls side. Morissette and Wade are likely state qualifiers but will compete as individuals and will not be able to score team points for the Red Eddies. Cwik is the lone returning state qualifier for the boys, who gained three swimmers for a total of eight just before Thanksgiving.
