Welcome to the 2015 Plainwell Swim & Dive Season

 

Plainwell 108  Mattawan 77

 

The Lady Trojans opened the 2015 dual meet season at WMU against Mattawan by winning 108 to 77. It was great to see many returning athletes and the introduction of a large freshmen class. Team captains Allison Singh, Veronica Klein, Abby Ernst, and Jessica Nyberg led the charge as Plainwell’s depth earned them a sound win. Junior Emma Varley had some excellent splits in the freestyle events and Junior Emily Zimmer won the diving event.  Sophomores Cassy Keator, Marlee Burgess, and Colby Hills picked up where they left off last season scoring valuable points where the team needed them. Freshmen Naomie Delaet, Shanyn Jewell, Hailee Lamorandier, and Madison Moore had outstanding first meet performances, showing us a glimpse of Plainwell future. Finally Leah Brady and Sarah Shannon made their diving debuts by impressing the crowd with their spectacular body control. State Qualifications: Abby Ernst 200 Free, 500 Free
