Swimmers excel while Melendez crowned State Champion- Twice!

Canton High School junior Sebastian Melendez earned double-gold at this weekend's MIAA State Swim Championship meet held at Boston University.

Sebastian's victories came in the 200 Freestyle and the 500 Freestyle. We believe this to be the first ever State Championship for a male swimmer at CHS-----maybe first ever for either gender. Congratulations to Sebastian on this amazing accomplishment.

Melendez's performances were not the only highlights of the weekend.

  • Sean Mitchell finished 10th in the 50 Freestyle. 
  • The 200 Freestyle relay team of Diego Ferstler, Mitchell, Owen Guerini and Melendez took 5th. 

On the girls side-

  • Tiffany Ha finished 14th in 100 Freestyle and 7th in the Backstroke. 
  • The Medley Relay team of Ha, Briana Murphy, Maddie Nourse, and Dasol Lee took 26th.
