The Marlboro boys’ swimming team has a small roster, without enough swimmers to compete in dual meets during the season.
However, the Dukes get to swim at meets as a shadow team for Newburgh Free Academy. They last swam at a four-team meet on Dec. 20 with the Goldbacks, the New Paltz Huguenots and the Red Hook Raiders. The Dukes swam exhibition in four events.
Josh Johnson had Marlboro’s best time in the 50-yard freestyle and the 100-yard butterfly. Jordan Johnson posted the Dukes’ top time in the 100-yard freestyle and Ayden Baxter was their top swimmer in the 100-yard breaststroke.
The Dukes will compete again on Jan. 10 at Newburgh Free Academy when the Goldbacks host Rhinebeck.
