On Tuesday, October 22, the Whippet Swim Team finished out their regular season schedule against Beloit Memorial. The night was spent celebrating our seniors and all their success in the pool as a Whippet! The girls swam fast on senior night and put up many new best times!
Senior Makayla Bazeley swam a lifetime best in the 200 IM beating the rest of the field by nearly 13 seconds with at time of 2:14.43. With that time, she moved her up to third all-time on the Whippet Top 10 List. Makayla also swam the 100 Fly in dominating fashion as she went just on her season best time of 1:00.75.
Senior Emerson Dunham won the 500 Freestyle by over 1 minute. In her win she went a season best time of 6:03.45. Emerson also put on a fun performance battling back and forth with the competition in the 100 Breaststroke to go a time of 1:24.08!
A special shout out goes to Senior Adalynn Frye as she has been everyone’s biggest supporter and loudest cheerleader this season!
The Whippets went 22 of 27 best times on the night! Charlotte Hajewski went 2/2 on best time dropping 6 seconds in the 200 IM and 4 seconds in her 100 Freestyle with a time of 1:05.92! Zoe Zei also went 2/2 dropping 23 seconds in the 200 Freestyle and 7 seconds in the 100 Freestyle. Atreya Wilson continues with the 2/2 best times, dropping 3 seconds in the 200 Freestyle and improving her 100 Breaststroke time to a 1:35.18. Maria Pena and Caitlin Alford both posted new best times in the 50 & 100 Freestyles!
We are looking forward to seeing them drop even more time as we head into our Championship Season. First up we have JV Conference on Tuesday, October 29, in Elkhorn starting at 6 pm. We hope to see you there! Go Whippets!
