The Whippet Girls’ Swim Team opened up their season on Saturday, August 24 at the Tom Lieder Milton Invite. We had many new swimmers competing in their first ever competitive swim meet, and let’s just say with only 2 weeks of practice under their belt they absolutely crushed it!
There were some impressive time drops from our new swimmers from the first-time trial at practice to the meet. In the 50 Freestyle, Caitlin Alford dropped 11 seconds, Maya Davis dropped 7 seconds, Laken DePorter dropped 6 seconds, and Maria Pena dropped 2 seconds. In the 100 Freestyle, Maya Davis dropped 16 seconds, Grace Coleman dropped 10 seconds, and Kendra Serrano dropped 6 seconds!
Finishing in the Top 16 include:
- 200 Medley – Kendra Serrano, Emerson Dunham, Charlotte Hajewski, Lucy Davis (9th)
- 200 IM – Charlotte Hajewski (8th)
- 100 Fly – Georgia Esch (15th)
- 500 FR – Emerson Dunham (2nd) & Charlotte Hajewski (4th)
- 200 FR Relay – Maya Davis, Georgia Esch, Grace Coleman, Laken DePorter (11th)
- 100 Breaststroke- Emerson Dunham (10th)
- 400 FR Relay – Charlotte Hajewski, Kendra Serrano, Lucy Davis, Emerson Dunham (5th)
The Whippet Swimmers are back in action on Thursday, September 5th for Conference Relays. The meet starts at 5:30 pm at Beloit Memorial High School. Hope to see you there!
