2015 State Meet

Dundee was our temporary home while the girls prepared for the competition at the EMU Michael Jones (no relation) natatorium. Plainwell had a nice batch of qualifiers to keep the loyal Trojan fans entertained throughout the weekend. After a grueling day at the pool Friday, the girls still had the energy to escort Coach around Cabela’s before turning in for the night. Saturday we awoke to snow showers which made the drive home both treacherous and long.
Plainwell finished the meet in 16th place with 44 points. Great team effort!
