Hillsborough teens helped propel Somerset Valley YMCA swim team to a fifth place finish overall at YMCA Nationals.
Somerset Valley YMCA swim team captured three national titles and placed fifth overall out of 54 teams at the highly competitive 2015 YMCA Short Course National Championship recently in Greensboro, N.C.
The men's team finished third, while the women's team finished sixth. Swimmers won national titles in three events – one individual and two relays - and had many top 10 finishes. Brad Zdroik of Hillsborough won gold in the 200 freestyle, while Sam Hendrix of Hillsborough, Joe DelBuono of Hillsborough, Winston Chu of Warren and Zdroik, also took first place in the 200 and 400 medley relays.
“We had an historic year as a program,” said Head Coach Dan Roth. “Our success reflects the time and effort put in by every swimmer, the dedication and talent of our coaches and the many volunteer hours contributed by our tireless parents. We couldn’t be prouder of our team.”
