Girls' Swimming Player of the Week - Meg McCotter, Bishop Eustace
Saturday, February 26, 2005
Grade: Sophomore
Events: Freestyle
Accomplishments: McCotter anchored the B relay that gave Bishop Eustace a 1-2 finish in the 200 medley relay to open its Non-Public B state semifinal against Mt. St. Dominic on a high note. She finished second in the 200 IM and 100 free then anchored the 400 free relay to a win with her best split of the season enabling the Crusaders to reach Sunday's championship against Academy of St. Elizabeth.
Comments: "It was very exciting," McCotter said of the 400 free relay. "The whole race was really good. It was the best relay I've ever been in. Everyone was a little nervous because we knew the score. We were behind the blocks saying to each other `OK, we're just a little nervous here.' But you know what? Everyone took the pressure well. We knew had what we had to do and we just went out and performed to the best of our ability."
