On this day 25 years ago, Will Smith, Jon Meltzer, Steve Meltzer, and Jean Crousillat joined forces to earn two 4th place finishes at the New York State Swimming Championships held at the University of Rochester.

The foursome earned the highest finish for a Long Island school in both the 200 medley relay (1:40.19) and 200 freestyle relay (1:28.20), while setting a Suffolk County record in the 200 free relay. Their finishes helped Section XI to a fifth place finish out of eleven sections.

The group would go on to earn All-American status in the 200 freestyle relay.
