Quick meet last night as GRC took on FHC in a home dual meet. With a smaller squad last night I wanted to take today to highlight a few different events! The meet started with the 200 medley relays taking 2nd-3rd and 5th place. Julianna Mills took second in the 200 IM as she continues to tackle that event this season. GRC took 1-2-4-5-6-7-8 in the 50 free! Congrats to Carpenter-Harkness-Enders- Herman-Pegman-Wierenga-Sanders for rocking the blocks in that event. 

Big night over on the diving boards which is our overall highlight. Ella VandenBerg crushed it because of her best friend Olivia May came to watch- we always appreciate extra fans in the crowd! Super star Natalie Wickstrom continues to crush it as she PR’ed and won the meet with a score of 204.30! Lainy VanderPloeg double d down as a great teammate also carding Sadowski’s 500 free — two claps to her. Lily Kate DeVries and Brooke VandenBerg both crushed a new dive whipping out a 104C for the group. Emily Setlock joined the 200 point crowd last night too! 

Emily Herman took second in the 100 free followed by Kaitlin Pegman 3rd, Lindsey Wierenga 4th, and Adie Sandberg 5th! As previously mentioned with the support of Lainy-Piper-Sadowski crushed another 500 free last night taking first for the team. Lucy Molenbeek continues to put in the work as well gaining new skills each meet as she touched in 4th place. Janie Mills won the 100 breast with no goggles on by the finish- congrats on swimming so fast the equipment couldn’t stay on! Senior Kaylee Enders took 3rd for the team followed by Katherine Brandt in 7th and Olivia Glisson in 8th. 

The final show of the night was dive squad taking on the C 400 Free Relay so we could swim Mollie DeBlecourt in another event. Lily McGowan-Ella VandenBerg and Natalie Wickstrom were lil speedsters in this relay as we finished up the meet.

Congrats to all of our athletes who played in the orchestra concert as well last night! The team lost to FHC but will hit the road Saturday to head to the Spring Lake Invite.
