Jesuit Swim Team Wins 2006 State Title 
The Jays celebrate after reclaiming the State Swim Title
by posting strong individual and medley victories in a variety of events.
(The following article is courtesy of The Times-Picayune and NOLA.com.) Cubs, Blue Jays make waves State championships atone for last season Sunday, November 19, 2006 By Tammy Nunez SULPHUR -- Last year the New Orleans swimming family was assessing damage after Hurricane Katrina, but this year the house has been gutted and refurbished to its former glory. Jesuit and Mount Carmel bounced back to form, winning Division I state titles Saturday at the SPAR Aquatic Center. Neither team was able to defend its 2004 title last year. Mount Carmel was closed because of Katrina in 2005, and the Cubs didn't swim in the state meet. But Mount Carmel debuted its reunited squad with much fanfare, winning with 377.50 points. St. Joseph's Academy finished second with 295 points, and Northshore (243) was third. Being back on deck in a Mount Carmel swimsuit meant as much as hoisting the trophy. "It's probably the most emotional experience I've ever had in my life," senior Laura Bailey said. "Just because of what happened last year -- we were all at different schools -- and being able to unify again so well." Bailey won the 50 freestyle in 25.02 and finished second to Northshore's Colleen Donovan in the 100 freestyle in 55.44. The Cubs stacked up points with the efforts of Alexandra Gonzalez, Alyssa Barré, Ashley Aranda, Lauren Broussard and Jennifer Broussard. Bailey, Aranda, Jennifer Broussard and Barré teamed for a victory in the 200 freestyle relay (1:42.71). The strength in numbers also worked for Jesuit. It was much needed after a grim 2005 season. Only 12 Blue Jays swam in 2005, trying to maintain Jesuit's streak of 18 consecutive titles -- the longest streak in any sport in LHSAA history. But Jesuit lost by a handful of points to Catholic. Jesuit won its 32nd swimming championship Saturday with 463 points, outscoring second-place Catholic (296) and third-place Rummel (194). It couldn't come soon enough for Blue Jay senior Garrett Malbrough, who said he has awakened every morning since last November thinking of atonement. "It's meant so much to us after what happened last year," Malbrough said. Junior Blue Jay John Tortorich won the 100 butterfly in an automatic All-American time of 50.77 seconds. The Blue Jays swept the 50 freestyle. Michael Collins ’07 won in 21.79, Brandon Harvey ’08 (22.05) finished second and Marc Dorsey ’10 (22.16) finished third. Brian Carr ’10 won the 500 freestyle in 4:47.70 and finished third in the 200 freestyle (1:47.40). The Blue Jays' 400 freestyle relay team of Tortorich, Malbrough, Brandon Harvey, and Michael Collins won with an All-American consideration time of 3:14.40. Marc Dorsey won the 100 backstroke (53.44), and Malbrough (54.19) came in second.
