Plainwell Sinks Allegan in Meet - Duo Effort Fundraiser a Big Winner!

The Plainwell Girl's Swimming and Diving Team steamrolled Allegan last evening with a convincing 111-65 victory. The Trojans started fast with a 1-2 finish in the Medley Relay, a 1-2-3 finish in the 50 Freestyle, and continued to build on its lead throughout the evening. The meet was highlighted by double individual victories by Lindsay Wiederhold and Teresa Thiel. Lindsay once again easily commanded the distance events while Thiel had a state qualifying time in the 100 Butterfly and also won the 50 Free. The 400 Free Relay teams also had a 1-2 finish and the 200 Free Relay was also victorious. Other individual winners were Mallory Comerford (200 IM) and Cameron Monroe (diving). Other great performances were turned in by Aaryn Jewell, Molly Boylan, Blair Cornell, Kelsey Ernst, Cameron Vanderhoff and Haley Childress. The Trojans stand at 6-0 in the Southwest and Central Swimming League and have 2 dual meets left with Marshall and Kalamazoo Hackett. The Conference Meet is November 4-5 and the Trojans seek their 9th straight championship.

The swim/dive meet also marked the second successful fund raising event for the team. Over $2000 was raised by both the Allegan and Plainwell teams for a local charity named Safe Harbor. Awesome job, girls!
