Mercersburg's boys' swim team captured first place in the 2010 Eastern Intercollegiate Swimming Championships, the biggest prep school aquatic event in the nation and one of the most competitive high school swimming and diving meets in the country. The team title is the Storm's first Easterns championship since 2002, and the fifth in head coach Pete Williams' tenure at the school.

Bobby Burg reached the championship finals and Cody Barrick and Ethan Keiser joined him on the medal podium with placewinning performances of their own, as Mercersburg finished a strong postseason by placing 15th at the 115-team National Prep Wrestling Tournament.

The Eastern National Swimming and Diving Championships and the National Prep Wrestling Tournament are both underway. To get updated schedule information and to track the progress of Mercersburg's athletes,  go to the venue websites at Easterns and National Preps.

On February 20, the Storm’s winter track teams competed in the Mid-Atlantic Prep League Indoor Track & Field Championships at Lawrenceville School in New Jersey. Several Storm athletes won their events while most previous MAPL records set by Mercersburg alums remained intact.
