Plainwell Dominates At Own Invitational

The Plainwell Girl's Swim/Dive Team easily outdistanced its opponents at the Plainwell Invitation. The team was lead by Karli Cornell, Leah Vanderboon and Lindsay Wiederhold who all placed 1st in four events. Other individual event winners were Rachel Varley and Cameron Monroe. Other highlights were Blair Cornell qualifying for the State Meet in the 100 Yard Breaststroke and the 1-2 finish in diving by Cameron Monroe and Reina Wicklund. It was another great team effort with Plainwell exhibiting their outstanding and superior depth.
