Busy week for Plainwell as they top
Otsego and St Joe.
Plainwell began the week with a convincing win over crosstown rival Otsego. The talented Bulldogs had no answer for the depth of Plainwell as the Lady Trojans won the meet 114 to 71 Tuesday night. Thursday’s meet against St Joe would not be decided until the last event of the night with Plainwell getting the win in the nail biter 95 to 91. Both victories included some very good performances from all of our girls. Some diving highlights throughout the week included Kim Jones taking 1st, Emily Zimmer 2nd and Rachel Moore 4th.  In swimming Abby Ernst continued her winning ways dominating the 100 back stroke, Emma Seiler won the 100 free, Veronica Klein the 100 breast and Aaryn Jewell would sweep the distance events.  Against Otsego: Abby, Veronica and Karlee would go 2,3,4 in the IM while Emma, Laura and Kaitlin would finish 2,3,5 in the 50 free.  Jessica, Angel and Jacqueline took 3rd, 4th and 5th in the 100 fly. Laura and Karalyn went 2,4 in the 100 free and Angel and Kaitlin finished 3,4 in the 500 free. Jessica placed 3rd in the 100 back and Karlee and Jacqueline finished 2,5 in the 100 breast.
                                                                          Relays
Emma Varley got her opportunity early in the night helping the team of Ristau, Breuer, Brignall and Varley taking 3rd place in the 200 Medley Relay. Shaking things up a little coach Dubois would add diver (yes I said diver) Kim Jones to the 200 free relay team of Breuer, K. Jones, Havenaar and Loftus. They would go on to finish 4th in the event. For those who did not know Kim swims and Kim swims well. Expect to see more of her in a swim cap and goggles. Great Team Work!
