WHALER SWIMMER TAKES FIRST IN BAY STATE GAMES Nantucket High School junior Beau Garuficaptured first place in the 200-meter breaststroke at the Bay State Games held at Harvard University last weekend. Garufialso took second place in the 100-meter breaststroke.

"I'm glad he had the opportunity in the offseason to be in a competition like that," said NHS swimming and diving coach Jim Pignato. "He really wants to be a yearround swimmer, and here on Nantucket it's tough to do that. Any opportunity to swim against competition like that is a bonus for him. It's great for the program and if Beau can lead the way here, hopefully that will open the way for other Nantucket swimmers to take part in this meet."

This is the second year Garufihas taken part in the Bay State Games. Last year he took second place in the same two events.
