Both Ben Seketa and his fellow West Genesee boys swimmers carried high expectations into last weekend’s New York State Public High School Athletic Association championship meet at Nassau Aquatic Center on Long Island. As such, the results – a series of medals, but nothing at the top – proved somewhat mixed, though Seketa, on his own and with teammates, set three new school record in the course of the weekend. In the qualifying portion of the 100-yard breaststroke on Friday, Seketa had the fastest time of 57.34 seconds, breaking his own school mark and earning automatic All-American status. But in Saturday’s finals, Seketa could not quite follow it up, slipping to fourth place in 57.58 seconds as Stanley Wong won in a blistering 56.48 second, breaking the state record by a quarter of a second. Seketa’s time was fifth among Federation swimmers. Meanwhile, in the 200-yard individual medley Seketa tied for fourth place in the state public meet with a clocking of 1:54.60. He had qualified in 1:53.80, breaking another school record. Matthew DiBlasio won in 1:50.93. Adding to the medal total, Seketa joined Carson Elias, Collin Zapisek and Tyler Zapisek to rise to fourth place in the 400 freestyle relay in a time of 3:13.54, setting yet another school record. In the 200 medley relay, Seketa, Elias, Richard Maroney and Brendan Marks were fifth in 1:37.85. Individually, Elias had a strong showing in the 50 freestyle, where he claimed 12th place in 22.06 seconds. Oswego’s Drake Becksted (20.90 seconds) was fourth. In the 100 butterfly, Elias was 12th in 52.36 seconds, where Kevin Koh (Fayetteville-Manlius) was eighth in 52.05 seconds. Josh Byrne took 16th place in the diving competition with 415 points, as Section III teammates Nick Rodriguez (Mexico) and Billy Werksman (Cicero-North Syracuse) were ninth and 11th, respectively.
