Sophomore Grace Lynch was one of the  eight highest-ranked tenth graders in the country in the year-end cumulative standings, while her teammate Kaileigh O’Sullivan was one of the 13 highest-ranked tenth graders nationwide.

  Students at Pearl River High School who excelled in the final meet, held in April, included sophomores Nora Longing, Grace Lynch, and Kelly Surlis; and juniors Danielle MacMaster, James McAllister, and Ella Sirakovsky.
