The FCIAC recently released its boys swimming and diving awards and it’s no surprise that a long list of Greenwich athletes were selected on the all-conference teams.

A total of 15 Cardinals athletes were named to the All-FCIAC First and Second teams. Greenwich produced a season in which it won the FCIAC team title for the 50th time in 51 seasons with a team total of 534 points. Junior Ryan Jee was among the Cardinals selected as an All-FCIAC First Team member. Jee competed on Greenwich’s 200-yard medley relay squad which posted a winning time of 1:33.74 at the FCIAC Championships – an All-American consideration time.

Jee also made First Team All-FCIAC honors in the 200-yard individual medley, the 100 butterfly and the 400-yard freestyle relay. In the 200 IM, Jee won the FCIAC title with a conference record time of 1:50.67. The 100 butterfly event saw Jee place second in 1:50.67. In the 400-yard freestyle relay Jee was part of a Cardinals quartet that combined for a winning, All-American automatic time of 3:05.36 – also an FCIAC record.

Sophomore Aiden Bucaria also earned First Team All-FCIAC honors in the 200 medley relay and 200 IM. Bucaria took third in the 200 IM at the FCIAC Championships (1:53.56). He swam on Greenwich’s 200 freestyle relay team, which made All-FCIAC First Team honors by placing second in the conference meet with a time of 1:26.53 and was the runner-up in the 100-yard breaststroke (57.78, All-FCIAC First Team).
