Boys Swimming & Diving
2025-26 Season Review
The Roncalli boys swimming & diving team had a phenomenal season! The team brought home the Circle City Conference Championship for the sixth time in 10 years, and that was the most memorable moment for head coach Curtis Cox R’07, “Going in we thought it was going to be very close, but every swimmer swam great and moved up from the seeded position. The single race that sticks out was the teams 200 Free relay. It was a fairly close meet until that relay and we seeded last. We decided to change the relay order before the meet and put our fastest two swimmers first and second to keep us in the race as long as we could. Senior Ben McGaha started us off with 24.48 seconds, and was about even with the other team. Then freshman Lucas Stephon went second with a 23.33 to give us a very slight lead. Freshman Weiland Augustyniak was 3rd, and he ended up doing a 25.18 to keep us slightly in the lead. Finally, junior Joey McCoy anchored our relay with an amazing time of 22.96. It was his first time ever going under 23 seconds, and he pulled away to touch the wall first for the win! That gave us a big lead and all the momentum, which we used to grow the lead in just about every event after that for the rest of the meet.”
A number of school records were broken, and many Royals found themselves crowned individual champions throughout the season. This earned many of the swimmers post-season accolades as well.
