The Fox Chapel Area High School girls swimming team has torpedo-like speed. Junior Sia Beasley and senior Anna Mucci are using theirs to build a new 200-yard medley relay team.
Flash back to March’s PIAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Beasley and Mucci along with Madeleine Souza and the graduated Carly Jones had notched a sixth place in the WPIAL to qualify for the state championship meet. Their WPIAL time was 1:50.32.
At the state meet, the four girls bobbed, thrashed and pulled their way through the preliminaries. Beasley also competed in the 200-yard freestyle event after the relay race. But coach Todd Clark gathered Souza, Mucci, and Jones together for some bad news.
