Plainwell Cruises To Invitational Victory

The Plainwell High School Girl's Swimming and Diving Team easily won the 2011 Plainwell Invitational on Saturday morning. The 5 team field was dominated by Plainwell's superior depth. The Trojans were led by the versatile Lindsay Wiederhold and Mallory Comerford as well as Blair Cornell and Kim Jones. Wiederhold and Comerford were 2 individual event winners as well as taking home 1st place in two relays. Cornell had a great meet with a come from behind win in the 100 Breastroke, a 2nd place in the 200 IM, and two relay 1st places. Jones once again took first in the diving event. Other great performances were turned in by Karalyn Vanslambrouck, Cameron Monroe, Blair Kelly, Aaryn Jewell, Nancy Lash, Kaitlin Oakes, and Angel Liceaga. The Trojans season remains undefeated and they prepare for a busy Homecoming week with a trip to Albion on Tuesday and a key home meet with Battle Creek Lakeview on Thursday. Come out and cheer the team for these important dual meets!
