It was a great meet for the Whippets with Ella Houwers leading the way with two new school records.  Ella added the 100 Freestyle and 100 Backstroke races to her list of school records tonight.  Whitewater was able to win ten out of eleven races and added 7 times into the Top 10 All Time list. 

Race winners include the 200 Medley Relay team of Grace Foucault, Hailey Murphy, Brianna Zimdars and Sophia Fanshaw, Sophia Fanshaw in the 200 Freestyle and 100 Breaststroke, Grace Foucault in the 50 Freestyle, Ella Houwers in the 100 Butterfly and 100 Backstroke, Brianna Zimdars in the 100 Freestyle, Amber Krebs in the 500 Freestyle, the 200 Freestyle relay of Grace Foucault, Sophia Fanshaw, Amber Krebs and Ella Houwers and the 400 Freestyle relay of Ella Houwers, Amber Krebs, Ellie Treder and Brianna Zimdars.

It is pretty rare for a team to take 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in a single event, but Sophia Fanshaw, Hailey Murphy and Brianna Zimdars were able to do just that in the 100 Breaststroke.

Top 10 times posted tonight include:
Grace Foucault, 50 Freestyle – 7th all time and 100 Backstroke – 3rd all time
Ella Houwers, 100 Butterfly – 4th all time, 100 Freestyle – 1st all time, 100 Backstroke – 1st all time
Brianna Zimdars, 100 Freestyle – 5th all time
Sophia Fanshaw, 100 Breaststroke – 8th all time

Other highlights include:
-Ellie Treder and Ashly Xochipa worked some strong finishes to touch out the Delavan competitors.
-Vanessa Falcon really raced well scoring several points tonight with some significant time drops.
-The Whippets were able to post 29 out of 33 best times!
-Brooke Bazeley did a great job in her first 500 as a Whippet hitting 6:41.88.
-There were so many great races, it’s hard to even pick which ones to talk about.
