BURLINGTON WEATHER

It was a full slate for Burlington athletics on Tuesday, with strong individual performances in the pool and a balanced team effort powering the boys to a win on the basketball court.

The boys' swim team fell to Belmont, 95–70, but turned in several standout performances throughout the meet. The 200 Medley Relay team of Woodbury, Alba, Ruiz, and Floyd qualified for Sectionals with a time of 1:51.71, just .31 seconds shy of the school record.

Individually, Ruiz posted a personal best in the 50 freestyle (24.78) while Floyd set PRs in both the 50 free (26.64) and 100 free (58.96). Chase Costa recorded personal bests in the 200 free (2:23.41) and 100 free (1:05.07), and Arran Fitzgerald posted a PR in the 500 free (6:18.19).

The boys' basketball team earned a 78–59 win over Belmont behind a balanced scoring attack. Gray led the way with 26 points, followed by Poehler with 15, Ellis with 11, and Shannon with 10. Fitzgerald added 11 points in his first extended varsity action. The Devils improved to 5–2 overall and 4–1 in league play.

The Lady Devils dropped their game against Belmont 51–41 after a slow first half. Burlington showed improved energy after the break, but couldn’t fully close the gap. Sicari led the way with 11 points, Reilly added 10, and Ochi and Thomas chipped in seven apiece. The Lady Devils move to 4–3 on the season.
