The following student-athletes were selected to The Washington Post’s 2022-23 All-Met team for girls’ swimming and diving:
Swimmer of the Year
Erin Gemmell, Sr., Stone Ridge
The senior split a 1:43.45 in the 200-yard freestyle — a full four seconds faster than anyone else in the area — to help Stone Ridge defend its Washington Metropolitan Interscholastic Swimming and Diving Championships crown. She also finished with the fastest 100 freestyle time in the area, 48.19 seconds, at the same meet. The Texas-bound star closed her high school career in dominant fashion as the Gators won Metros for the third straight time and also took home wins at the National Catholic and Independent School League championships. “She means a lot [to our program],” Coach Bob Walker said after Stone Ridge’s Metros win. “She got crazy fast this past summer.”
First team
Nina Allen, Sr., Bethesda-Chevy Chase
Allen defended her 50 freestyle titles at Metros and states, cementing herself as one of the area’s top sprinters. She also helped the Barons win state titles in the 200 and 400 freestyle relays, anchoring the former with a 22.80 split on the final leg.
Andrea Dworak, So., Blake
As a sophomore, Dworak posted the fastest time in the area in the 500 freestyle with a 4:46.77 at Metros. She also set the Maryland state meet record in the 200 freestyle (1:48.40) and won the 100 freestyle in 50.62, a school record.
Sarah Eliason, Jr., Richard Montgomery
She proved to be one of the more versatile swimmers in the area and was the only one to break 54 seconds in the 100 butterfly at Metros (53.99).
Jillian Ferrari, Sr., W.T. Woodson
Ferrari turned in some of the fastest times in Virginia in the 100 backstroke (54.87), 100 freestyle (51.00) and 50 freestyle (23.36).
Virginia Hinds, Fr., Bethesda-Chevy Chase
The freshman dazzled for the Barons, posting the top 100 backstroke time in the area at her first Maryland 4A/3A state championships (54.02).
Catherine Hughes, Jr., McLean
She was again the best breaststroker at the Virginia Class 6 championships, defending her state crown with a time of 1:01.28 in the 100 breaststroke.
Sienna Karp, Sr., Walter Johnson
The Penn State signee posted the area’s top time in the 200 individual medley (1:57.70) and 100 breaststroke (1:01.25), setting Maryland state meet records in both races. Her stellar swims helped Walter Johnson repeat as the Maryland 4A/3A state champion.
Michelle Mazzara, Sr., Stone Ridge
The winningest diver in the area, Mazzara took home first place at Metros, ISLs, the Washington Metropolitan Prep School Swim Dive League championships and National Catholics.
Camille Spink, Sr., Battlefield
The Tennessee-bound standout lived up to her billing as one of the top swimmers in the country during her senior season. She posted a blazing 22.55 in the 50 freestyle at the Virginia Class 6 state championships and easily won the 100 freestyle in 48.52.
Eleanor Sun, Sr., Stone Ridge
Sun was a key cog in the Gators’ Metros victory, finishing second in the 100 butterfly and 200 individual medley. She also posted top-10 times in the area in the 50 and 100 freestyles.
