The Shore Conference high school winter swimming season has commenced, and the leading local teams and swimmers are already establishing their reputations within the state.
Here are the Top 5 rankings for boys’ and girls’ teams as they enter the 2025 segment of the season:
Shore Conference high school swimming – Boys Top 5 teams, listed
1. Christian Brothers
With a record that is astonishing, boasting 33 Shore Conference championships, it’s no wonder CBA is poised for another significant postseason under coach Alex Fitton. The Colts have also kicked off their season energetically – achieving a 101-69 victory over Holmdel in their first meet. After narrowly edging out Holmdel by a mere five one-hundredths of a second in the critical 400-yard freestyle relay during last year’s Shore Conference Championship, CBA triumphed against the Hornets with a comfortable dual meet win.
2. Holmdel
Despite entering 2025 with two defeats, Holmdel’s impressive roster still indicates a bright season ahead. In their back-to-back matches against CBA and Rumson-Fair Haven, the Hornets demonstrated that they won’t give up easily. With substantial first and second place finishes driven by Andrew Sellinger, Dylan Wan, and Christopher Hall, Holmdel is eager to create more excitement this season.
3. Rumson-Fair Haven
The Bulldogs have started their campaign without a loss, with two victories over Marlboro and Holmdel thus far. After securing the second overall position in last year’s A Central division, Rumson-Fair Haven has managed to defeat the reigning division champion, Holmdel, by a narrow margin of 92-78. With a robust senior lineup that includes Cole DiPietro, Hlib Korostii, and William McCann, the team is poised for further impressive accomplishments.
4. Central Regional
Central Regional has already secured three victories and maintains an undefeated record so far this season. Although they face a challenging upcoming meet against Southern, senior Drew Westhoven, junior Aidan Wenzel, and sophomore Chase Corbett are determined to keep the Golden Eagles competitive. The team is still adjusting after the loss of last year’s standout senior Joseph Busic, who had an exceptional performance at the 2024 Shore Conference meet, clinching the 50 freestyle and subsequently setting a meet record in the 100 freestyle with a time of 45.99.
5. Southern
December was an active month for Southern, as the Rams achieved a record of 4-1. The team excelled in their four victories, defeating opponents by an average margin of 66.5 points. While they will need to maintain their dedication to match last season’s 8-1 record, key swimmers like Jack Delaney and Guy DeVita will guide their efforts.
Shore Conference high school swimming – Girls Top 5 teams, listed
1. Trinity Hall
Trinity Hall is recognized for making victories appear effortless, exemplified by their triumph in the Shore Conference Championship last year, followed by a win over Our Lady of Mercy in the final round of the Non-Public South NJSIAA Tournament. With a formidable roster, the team is eyeing another promising season ahead. Trinity Hall commenced this season with two overwhelming wins against Red Bank Catholic and Holmdel, and the team’s 14 seniors are determined to uphold their dominant position as the Shore Conference powerhouse.
2. Southern
The Rams head into 2025 boasting an impressive record of four key victories. Despite enduring a challenging 128-42 defeat against Ocean City, Southern’s lineup of proficient swimmers is poised to make an impact at the county championship meet level and beyond. Junior Sevanah Oravets is anticipated to be among the top swimmers in the conference this year. She clinched first place in the 500 freestyle at the Shore Conference last season and was instrumental in leading her team to the Group A South quarterfinal round of the NJSIAA Tournament.
3. Red Bank Catholic
No team wishes to enter the new year burdened by an early loss, but Red Bank Catholic’s defeat against Trinity Hall won’t deter the Caseys for long. The score was 115-54; however, Red Bank Catholic still secured several top three finishes against the Monarchs. Perhaps a repeat of history is in store: last year, the Caseys also opened with a loss to Trinity Hall but rebounded impressively to achieve nine consecutive wins and wrapped up the season with a 9-2 tally. The team progressed to the Non-Public South quarterfinal round of the NJSIAA Tournament.
4. Red Bank Regional
Red Bank Regional thrived throughout the 2023-24 season, where the Buccaneers went head-to-head with Manasquan at the Group B Central semifinal round of the NJSIAA Tournament. Following an impressive season record of 9-2, they have recorded two wins and one loss in the new season. Although they have challenging matches ahead against Trinity Hall and Red Bank Catholic, Red Bank Regional’s roster possesses the depth required to contend against some of the toughest teams in the Shore.
5. Manasquan
Manasquan had a remarkable streak of 12 consecutive wins until facing off against Princeton in the Group B Central final round of the NJSIAA Tournament last year. The team is primed for another successful season ahead, supported by their well-rounded lineup that has already established a record of 3-0. Returners
Maddie Ireland, Lily Hackett, and newcomer Parker Califano are further enhancing Manasquan’s standing as a premier Shore team.
