The Eagles and the Maroons started off an early season dual meet at the Venema Aquatic Center on Tuesday night. The Maroons took the day off the back of a solid medley relay and a distinctive closing 400 free relay. There were quite a few outstanding swims during the meet on the part of some new and returning swimmers for both teams. A highlight of the night for the Eagles was the 200 free relay where Winkle, Burrows, Brinks, and Klaver took the race by less than .3 in an exciting finish by Burrows. Other highlight swims for the Eagles were Burrows winning the 200 free and Nelson winning the 200IM in back to back races. The Eaglels look forward to seeing their fellow Christian Swimmers and Divers at the 2019 Mid Season Invitational hosted by Holland Christian. As is tradition, the Maroons and the Eagles finished the meet with arms around eachother singing the Doxology. 

A second unofficial dual meet was swum against Spring Lake in a double dual meet format. Holland Christian beat spring lake 115-69 and GRCH beat Spring Lake 104 - 80. Spring Lake and GRCH will meet again at their regularly scheduled conference swim meet later this season. This double dual does not affect conference standings.
