Saturday, the entire team went to Lake Forest,
Illinois, to swim against the Forrester's of Lake Forest College. The pool is in meters instead
of yards, so it was a little bit longer, and times were not usual for the
swimmers. In addition, the seniors got to make the lineup, so some of the
events were also unusual. But the Scarlet Hawks had some good swims
nonetheless.
The men's
200 meter medley relay of Rosenfeld, Grunden, junior Joe Muchna and Chojnacki
took 1st, and the diver's swam a relay of their own, taking 4th.
In the 800 meter freestyle, Keane and Halloway took 1st and 2nd,
and freshman Victoria Masney swam to a 1st place finish in the 200
meter freestyle for the women's team. Freshman Nicole Valio took 3rd
in the 50 meter freestyle for the women, as did Lyman for the men's team, and
freshman Jeff Grindel took 3rd in the 200 meter individual medley.
McNair took 1st on the 1 meter board with a score of 252.85,
followed by Lord with a score of 189.70 and junior Aaron Komoroski with a score
of 157.75. On the 3 meter board, McNair, Lord and Komoroski took 1,2,3 again,
with scores of 262.90, 190.45 and 169.75 respectively.
In the 100 meter butterfly, sophomore Morgan
Curran took 2nd, and Valio took 4th, and Taylor and Grunden took 1st and 2nd
for the men's team. Curran and sophomore Andrea Zuniga took 3rd and
4th in the 100 meter freestyle, as did Halloway and Lyman for the
men's side, and in the 100 meter backstroke, sophomore Melanie Koto took 2nd
by a touch. In the 400 meter Free, sophomore Julia Duarte took 2nd for
the women's team, as did Rosenfeld for the men's team, and Keane and Grindel took 3rd and 4th
in the men's 100 meter breaststroke. The men's senior 200 meter freestyle relay
of Taylor, Park, Greg Herbert, and Brady were out touched, taking 2nd,
followed by the team of Grunden, Grindel, Rosenfeld and Keane for 3rd,
and the team of sophomore Dylan Maus, Tapak, Halloway and Muchna for 4th.
