Isabel Stephens (Fr), Kendra Standley (Fr), Janelle Stacy (So), and Emilee Johnson (Jr) went 1:51.89 in the 200 Medley Relay, to cut 0.7 off of the school mark.  Three of the four swimmers on the previous record now swim for Division I college teams.  The new record is now seventh on the state all-time top 12.

Emilee (100/200 Free), Janelle (200 IM/100 Fly), and Kendra (100 Breast) all earned automatic berths to States with individual victories.  Alissa Bezenek (Fr) won the 100 back, and joined Emilee, Janelle and Alyson Walker (Fr) on the victorious 400 Free Relay.

The Men’s team powered their way to third place overall, with impressive individual efforts.  Case Kuikhoven (So) earned his first individual title with a win in the 500 Free.  He also dropped four seconds from prelims to jump to second in the 200 IM.  TJ Hammersland-Torres (Sr) added a pair of fifth place finishes, in the 500 free and 100 fly, and Dylan Christianson (So) added a fifth in the 100 backstroke.
