The Eagles took a decisive conference victory last night against Catholic Central in the Downtown YMCA with a final score of 108-75. The meet started out fast with 1st and 3rd in the Medley Relay by Klaver, Turner, Burrows, and Winkle in the A and Speulstra, Erffmeyer, Nelson, and Konyndyk in the B. Quickly following, Burrows turned around and won the 200 Freestyle with Brinks and Entingh scoring in at 4th and 5th. Nelson took 2nd in the 200IM after a hard fought race which lead into the 50 Freestyle which was dominated in a 1,2,3 finish by Winkle, Carpenter, and Klaver. 

The excitement did not stop as Grix, Hermen, and McGowan all took Regional points on the diving boards going 1,2,3 as well!
