Trojans Unable to Find Spartan’s Achilles Heel 

Plainwell 75  B.C. Lakeview 111 

After suffering their first defeat, the wounded Trojans treaded water into their meet with the Spartans.  Being a non conference meet, it was clear Coach Murphy wanted to mix things up a bit to allow all swimmers to step-up in new events.  Many of the ladies took the opportunity to showcase their skills.  Here are some notable performances as the Trojans grappled the Spartans:

200 Free-  Ali Pierce and Hailee Lamorandier swam well

200 IM-  Colby Hills and Maddie Betz were solid

50 Free- Carly Braginton was on a collision course for third

Diving-  Tessa Vann, Alex Uridge, and the undefeated Emily Zimmer were off the deep end with fantastic dives

100 Fly-  Mikah Havenaar jetted into third

100 Free- Kylee King had a nice swim

500 Free- Always a noteworthy performance by Hailee Lamorandier, Colby Hills, Naomi DeLaet, and Gabby Evans

100 Breaststroke- Shannon Jewell, Lauren VanLent, and Grace Doerr did well

400 Free Relay- Lindenbach, Keator, Betz, and Burgess churned the waters to second 

Special Shout-Out!  The Lakeview pool is awesome.  Mr. Burns, from Simpsons fame, made a cameo appearance as referee for the event.  Thank you for your service sir.
