It was a hard fought battle, but unfortunately, we were unable to pull out the win against Big Foot. We turned the ball over too much and our shooting percentage hurt us the most. We had plenty of open shots, they just wouldn’t fall. Defensively, we communicated well and hustled. Jaden Henneman had 6 steals, Cassidy Laue led our scoring with 11, followed by Abby Grosinske and Kacie Carollo both with 8.
We are geeking out at Wisconsin Makers, December 26-28, 10am-5pm, Saturday, December 29, Showcase Day, 9am-2pm. This is a family event being held during the Holiday break. So, if your kids, grandkids and their friends are looking for something to do bring them down to the MakerSpace.
Just like that the Whippets surge to 2-1 in the Southern Lakes Conference with two wins, beating both Delavan-Darien and PSC Aquatics. The Whippets were able to win 8 out of 11 races and posted 16 best times. Posting Top 10 times for All Time were Devin Bazeley in the 100 Butterfly and 100 Breaststroke and Young Liang in the 100 Freestyle. We had several swimmers try some new races with great success. Zach Tomomitsu swam the 200 Freestyle, Jon Chan swam the 200 Individual Medley, Wesley Salverson swam the 100 Butterfly, Shawn Chan and Antonio Aranda took on the long race of the night swimming the 500 Freestyle and Jonathan Manriquez tried out the 100 Breaststroke. It is important with a small team to have all the athletes be capable of swimming any event at any time. We are getting closer to that with every meet.
