Plainwell Starts 2011 Season Fast: Blitzes Kalamazoo Central

The 2011 Plainwell Girl's Swim/Dive Team started the season with a convincing victory over Kalamazoo Central. The final score was 122-58. The team was led by double individual event winners Blair Cornell and Mallory Comerford. Molly Boylan, Kim Jones, Lindsay Wiederhold, Teresa Thiel had one victory each in their individual events. The Trojans swept all three relays, however the 400 Free Relay was deemed an exhibition event for them. Freshman Comerford broke an 8 year old record in the 50 Freestyle in route to a very impressive :24.54. This year's team features 29 swimmers and divers and the Trojans seek their 9th straight Conference Championship and a high placement at the State Meet.

The Trojans face Mattawan on Tuesday.
