The Needham High School varsity swimming team improved to 7-0 on the season over the last weeks with victories coming over Natick (104-82) on January 16, Newton North (130-55) on January 18, and Framingham on January 20.
Junior Serge Sonkin’s efforts in the 100-meter butterfly helped propel the Rockets to victory against Framingham while senior Nick Lombardo and sophomore Henry Keegan did their share in the 100-meter butterfly, finishing first (Keegan) and second (Lombardo) in the event to help guide Needham to a win over Natick.
Sophomore Ben Shapiro was phenomenal off the diving board for the Rockets during all three meets, and his perfect score on the reverse dive tuck against Natick gave Needham a crucial edge to muscle out the 22-point victory over the Redhawks.
Following their victories over Natick, Newton North, and Framingham, the Rockets completed their undefeated season by taking down Wellesley 109-77 on Saturday in a dominant complete team effort.
