Basking Ridge: Pleasant Valley Piranhas Head Into Meet Of Champions

The Pleasant Valley swim Team hosted their last meet on Monday 21st taking on swimmers from Chester. The Piranhas tallied the most points to win the meet 307 to 116.

It has been a great season for the Piranhas with the early morning practices soon coming to an end. The coaching staff of Tyler Gibbons (Head Coach), Jackson Crewe (Assistant Coach), Sarah Spring (Assistant Coach) and Colleen Wachenfeld (Jr. Assistant coach) has truly motivated the team to do their best. 

The team now has a record of 5 to 2 before moving  into this weekend’s Meet of Champions which brings together about a dozen swim teams from the area. “It’s been another successful and memorable season for Pleasant Valley” said Head coach Tyler Gibbons.  “We finished our season strong and everyone really stepped it up and improved a lot over the past few weeks.
