The Eagles had a spectacular night at the Venema Aquatic Center. We had a great night swimming and diving against Hamilton High taking home the win (95.5-90.5) and quite a few personal bests and state cuts listed below:

• Katherine Brandt took a speedy personal best in 100 free with a time of 1:07.

• Emily Setlock took 1st place on the diving boards and gained another regional point. 

• Emmarie VanOss nailed all of her dives with another PR of 140.40.

• Jenna Vanderwall set yet another personal best on the diving boards. 

• Lindsey Weirenga flew to the walls PRing in the 100 breast just after one of our team’s most iconic swims ever. Just after diving in at the beginning of the 500 freestyle Lindsey’s goggles fell off. Can’t see anything! Then, a couple hundred yards later her whole cap came off. Never the less, she kept swimming the whole 20 laps. When in doubt, Lindsey it out! 

• Piper Sadowski took a double PR with the 500 free and the 100 back!!

• Lucy Molenbeek did a slam dunk in the 100 free setting a new personal best. 

• Karson Vandenend PRd in the 100 backstroke. 

• Elizabeth Doezema PRd in the 50 free! 

• Juliana Mills took 1st place in 100 fly & 100 back.

• Janie Mills took 2nd 100 breast.

• Kaitlin Pegman ate her 1st soft shell taco and rated it 6/10.

• Veda Harkness took 1st place in the 200 IM and the 100 freestyle

• Maeve Harkness gets a NICE SHOUTOUT for her state cut in the 50 free and taking 1st place in this event and the 200 freestyle.

Special shoutout to Veda Harkness who qualified for state in the 100 yard butterfly a few weeks ago at our meet against Holland High. She flew into the wall with a 1:03.31 making the state cut with time to spare! Great swim, Veda!
