Scott Romeyn ’18 swimming in the 50 free at the New England Championships.
The Choate Boys’ Varsity Swim team placed second in the Founders League and came in sixth out of eleven teams at the New England Championships. Scott Romeyn ’18 proved his excellence as a Choate swimmer one final time at this meet. He was the New England Champion for both the 50 and 100 freestyle sprint events, even breaking the New England record for the 50 free. Romeyn broke numerous Choate, Founders, and New England records throughout four years at Choate.
Romeyn was also presented the Wilbur Babcock Award. Not only does this award represent skill and dedication toward the sport, but it shows great leadership and character. Romeyn said, “It’s an honor; I looked back at some of the people that have won this award — one of my dad’s friends from high school won it […] I met him; he was very nice, and to get the same award that he got was truly an honor.”
He went on to say how he always had the support of his coach, Ms. Sara Massa, whom he trained with during the Choate season and on a club team. Besides having his coach’s support, he was happy to see his teammates’ excitement when he received the award. He said, “I was really excited, and it was great to see the Choate kids go crazy.” Romeyn has had a spectacular Choate career with success both in and out of the pool.
