After rewriting the league championship meet records two weeks ago and dominating at sectionals a week ago, Sharon’s Feining Huang and Leo Tran along with Franklin sophomore Zack Pecora all won individual state championships over the weekend at MIT’s Zesiger Center.

Huang took home two titles on Saturday while Tran and Pecora each walked away with one on Sunday. Huang won the Division 1 state title in the 200 yard free, touching first in 1:52.19, just ahead of Minnechaug’s Olivia Parent by 1.13 seconds, and added a second state championship by winning the 100 yard backstroke in 55.81. Tran captured the Division 1 state title in the 200 yard free while Pecora finished 2.18 seconds ahead of Haverhill’s Brian Story to win the D1 title in the 200 yard IM. Tran and Pecora finished second and third, respectively in the 500 free behind Minnechaug’s Alexander Parent.

Attleboro’s Samantha Provost secured a pair of top five finishes on Saturday morning, taking fourth in both the 100 fly (59.12) and the 100 free (54.69). Sharon’s Cora Shea took second in the 200 IM.

Player of the Week: Leo Tran, Sharon Swim

Leo Tran
By HockomockSports.com Staff

Sharon sophomore Leo Tran has been selected as the HockomockSports.com Player of the Week, presented by Morse Insurance, for Jan. 27 through Feb. 1. Tran is the 21st athlete chosen as Player of the Week for the 2024-25 school year and seventh in the winter season.

Coming off a terrific freshman season, Tran has impressed in his second varsity campaign and he closed out the regular season with two individual titles and a new meet record at the annual Hockomock Boys Swim Championships held on Friday evening at Milford High. Tran also placed in two relays, as the Eagles took third overall behind winners Milford and second place Franklin.

“Leo had a tremendous meet,” said Sharon head coach Sara Barbera. “He broke an 8-year Hock meet record in the 200 free, and came very close to breaking a 12-year-old 100 free record. Fortunately, Leo is only a sophomore so has a lot of runway ahead of him. It will be fun seeing what he can do at sectionals and states!”

Tran got the meet started by swimming the second leg of the 200-yard medley relay along with Brac Buffa, Justin Hsu, and Tay Luo. The Eagles finished second with a time of 1:49.76. In the 200-yard free, Tran raced to the win with a new meet record time of 1:44.88, which was almost four seconds faster than his nearest competitor. He added another title in the 100 free, finishing in a time of 48.66, which was more than three seconds faster than the second place swimmer. Tran wrapped up a busy day by anchoring the 400 free relay (along with Buffa, Luo, and Alex Ng). The Eagles took third in a time of 3:33.70.
