Anna Abbiatici, swimming

Senior Anna Abbiatici is disappointed in the disruption to her final year on the swim team, but she feels it’s all for the best.

“Of course I’d like (an uninterrupted) season for my senior year, but it’s important that everyone takes coronavirus seriously,” Abbiatici said.

The swim team was supposed to have its first meet on Monday, but because of the shutdown it has been delayed.

“We were pumped up for our first meet, but this actually isn’t a total disappointment,” Abbiatici said. “Spectators weren’t going to be allowed, so some of the excitement was missing to begin with.”

Abbiatici isn’t sure how the team will keep their skills sharp during the shutdown, but she doesn’t think it will affect their performance.
