FUAC News & Notes

12 swimmers traveled to the Pitt Christmas Invitational, December 18th through the 20th. The snow and cold couldn't slow down our Blue Devils as they registered an incredible 41 personal best times, including 12 top 8 finishes! The team finished 11th out of 43 teams.

Congratulations to our Jr. National Qualifiers: Tony Romanini, Blake Sundel, Kurt Housh, Jake Humphrey, Jorah Gebert, and Matt Morio! Next up the club team travels to Richmond for a NOVA Invitational, while the high school men take on Trinity and Woodberry Forest in double dual meet action.

Just one week after winning the 2010 Virginia Prep League Conference Championship, Fork Union Military Academy Swimming and Diving made history on February 20th by winning their first Virginia State Championship in the 30 year history of the competition! In the process, the Blue Devils set another two State Records (200 Yard Medley Relay - T. Romanini, B. Sundel, J. Gebert, J. Humphrey; and 200 Yard Individual Medley - T. Romanini), while registering an incredible nine All-State swims and 49 personal best times in route to a 423 point victory. On the boards FUMA diving surprised the field as two virtually unknown first year divers, Obi Okeyo and Eric Palmer, placed 6th and 8th overall respectively.
