Press release from the Port Jefferson School District: Dec. 11, 2021 The Port Jefferson School District congratulates students Olivia Schlegel, Kate Sommerstad and Brennyn Veit for qualifying for the New York State Public High School Athletic Association Girls Swim Championships which were recently held at Ithaca College. Kate finished fifth in the 200-yard freestyle and third in the 500-yard freestyle. Olivia finished seventh in the 200-yard individual medley and 15th in the 100-yard backstroke while Brennyn finished 23rd in the 200-yard individual medley. As expected, Kate and Olivia improved their performance from the 2019-20 state championship — championships were not held in 2020-21 due to the pandemic. In only her second season in independent swimming, Brennyn finished with one of her best times in the 200 IM. "Although our numbers for swimming are small, Port Jeff's performance is always big at the championship events," Athletic Director Adam Sherrard said. "I look forward to watching Olivia perform at a high level at the state championship again next year and reading about Kate and Brennyn's success swimming at the collegiate level."
