The team is still putting up fast times and getting better each week! The Whippets traveled to Beloit Memorial to compete against a field of mainly Division 1 teams this past Saturday. Coming home with medals was Young Liang with his 1st place finish in the 100 Breaststroke, beating 34 competitors and 2nd place finish in the 200 Breaststroke. Devin Bazeley swam a strong 500 Freestyle and posted the 5th fastest time All Time.
On Saturday the Whippets wrestlers traveled to Mount Horeb to participate in a 16 team tournament and found great success as a team. The team wrestled very well throughout the tournament coming home with 5 runner-ups and 4 bronze medalists. The whippet depth proved to be enough to hold off Edgerton in the final team standings to bring home the team championship. The coaching staff was very happy with the performance of the day as everyone competing finished in the top five of their weight class and many had some big pins along the way.
Saturday the Whitewater JV wrestling team traveled to Elkhorn. The Elkhorn Invitational was made up of 18 tough teams. Most of the teams there were from division one schools. Whitewater traveled with 12 wrestlers to the tournament.
