Liberty, Whitehall, and Allentown Central Catholic’s swim teams joined together to welcome Williamsport in a holiday quad meet on Dec. 27 at Liberty.

“Williamsport has trouble getting meets up there, and we were looking for something to do over 16 days that’s not just pounding yardage,” said Liberty coach Reik Foust. “We weren’t swimming Whitehall this year, but we swim them every year. Whitehall was supposed to swim Central tonight, so (Whitehall coach) Dave Seeloff came up with the idea to make a quad meet, and it turned out being a great meet, and we’re gonna try and have it again next year.”

Liberty’s boys defeated Williamsport, 83-80, Whitehall, 117-47, and Central, 90-74.

Central’s boys defeated Williamsport, 76-75, and Whitehall, 97-58.

Liberty’s girls defeated Whitehall, 113-56, and Central, 120-41, and lost to Williamsport, 85-84.

Whitehall’s girls defeated Central, 96-61, and also lost to Williamsport, 114-55.

“The four-lane meet gave us more of an edge against the other teams, and that allowed us to get more points than in a normal six-lane meet,” said Liberty junior Logan Malozi.
