Lucas Spagnoletti Honored as Blue Devil Pool MVP

Lucas Spagnoletti dominated the waterways for the Huntington High School varsity boys’ swimming and diving program, winning All-State honors multiple times and helping to establish the Blue Devils as one of Suffolk’s best teams.

Spagnoletti was honored as the Huntington boys’ swim team’s MVP at the 56th annual Blue Devil senior athletic awards ceremony in the high school auditorium.

The teenager was presented with a handsome plaque by Huntington coaches Meg McConnell and Christopher Helmke. Spagnoletti is headed to the University of Pennsylvania where he will join his brother, Evan on the college’s swim team.

An Advanced Placement Scholar, Spagnoletti said he owes his success to supportive family, friends and coaches. He’s interested in studying health care markets and finance at UPenn.

President of the Science Honor Society and an intern in a high school science research program class, Spagnoletti is a five-time All-State swimming honoree.

Huntington’s male recipient of the 2024 Butch Dellecave Award, Spagnoletti completed 13 Advanced Placement classes while compiling a 103 academic grade average and scoring a 1510 on the SAT. He has also completed classes outside of high school at Columbia University, including courses in Quantum Physics, Quantum Mechanics and Computing, Molecular Chemistry and more.

Mr. Spagnoletti is also a legitimate pioneer in modern genomics, where he is co-founding a new topic of science called exposomics while working alongside distinguished Columbia University professors. Specifically he is coding the national database and inputting allocated metadata for cases on this topic. This project coincides with working with the National Institutes of Health to get his findings published. The teenager has published research on similar topics in genetic engineering in plants and working on his current research about the effects of “Unaffordable Healthcare on Low-Income Patient Health Outcomes.”
