Along with these three Rangers were many others who had phenomenal time drops.
100 Back
This event featured a 1-2 showoff against the Rangers’ Jonah Ruhl and Coppell’s Gabe Campos. In first was Ruhl, clocking in at a 53.61, and in second was Campos with a 56.07.

Rounding out the Rangers was Michael Schwabe, clocking in at a 1:14.49 in sixth.
400 Free Relay
Yet again, the Rangers dominated this event, taking the top two spots. The “A” relay of Sam Kennington, Sebastian Suwanda, Jonah Ruhl, and Luke Lary finished in first by a long-shot, clocking in at a 3:21.93. In second was the “B” relay (Charlie Plummer ’28, Riccardo Carotenuto, Peter Hasik, JP McCosker) with a time of 3:38.02, and unofficially in third was the “C” relay (Noah Ruhl, Ian Reichert ’29, Corbin Turner ’29, Grant Wilton), finishing at a 3:47.03. Because of Jesuit’s entry placements, Coppell would take the bronze medal in this event over Jesuit’s “C” relay. The reason for this is because the “C” relay was entered into the meet as an “exhibition” swim that would not be counted towards the total meet score.
Looking Ahead
Kicking off the month of November, the Rangers went head-to-head with each other in the Annual Red vs. Blue Intrasquad on Tuesday, November 4 at the Gull (which will be covered in a different article). Soon after, the Rangers will take on St. Mark’s on November 13, potentially being one of the most competitive meets on the Rangers’ schedule this year. Following this meet is the North Zone TISCA Invitational (November 21-22), which serves as the Rangers’ mid-season Prelims/Finals Invite and a chance to face many of their 6A rivals in preparation for the postseason.
