The 2018/2019 swim season for the Bay View Bengals turned out to be one they'll never forget. Not only did the swim team capture the Division II Championship, their first in 17 years, but they also broke a number of personal and school records along the way, in addition to capturing states titles and a 2nd place finish at states last month.
Gianna Spremullo (above, left), a junior at Bay View, replicated last year's double gold performance, by once again winning individual state titles in the 200-yard individual medley (2:04.59) and the 100-yard backstroke (56.07) at the RIIL Swimming State Championships, breaking the previous school records she set last season. In addition, the 200-yard relay medley team comprised of Spremullo, Juliana Goncalves, Olesya Tamburro, and Melina Cabral took home silver at states breaking the old school record with a time of 1:52.72. The team finished in 6th place overall out of 25 teams.
