Division Avenue Swimmers Make District History

The two are the first to ever qualify for the state Swimming and Diving Championships.

From Levittown Public Schools: Two swimmers from Division Avenue High School have recently qualified to compete at the 2018 New York State Public High School Athletic Association Boys Swimming and Diving Championships on March 2 and 3. Sophomore Hans Lim will compete in the 200-yard individual medley event, while senior Jack Stanley will put his skills to the test in the 50-yard individual freestyle event. Both are the first Levittown students to ever qualify at the state level.

“These two boys have taught me more this season than I ever dreamed possible,” said swim coach Christie Boneillo. “They led our team by their humble confidence, courageous attitude and sheer hard work. They helped to make history for the Levittown swim team as the first two swimmers to reach States! I hope they know how proud I am of them and how honored I am to be their coach.”
