The Lady Patriots couldn't
overcome the depth of the team from East, and they took second place
in the DPS Relay Meet.
Our girls won three out of the seven events and
East won the other four. Where they won, we placed second and
vice versa.
One of our important relays false started and
disqualified, costing the team about 32 points. Without that
"miss," we would have only lost by eight points! If the
mistake had happened to East, we would have won the meet.
We won the 200 Butterfly Relay with an amazing
swim by Paige W. in a come-from-behind thriller.
Our A-Team also took the 500 Crescendo Relay with
strong efforts from Laura M., Chloe B., Paige W., Alexandra G. and
Emmily P.
The last victory came in the 100 free relay where
our girls showed off their sprint speed.
In addition to the winning relays, we had many
awesome swims from some of our newer swimmers. Michelle Guan
is improving daily, and Allison Steel looked great in her leg of the
fly relay. Madeleine W's 200 free as a part of her Crescendo
relay was also cool.
Even though we didn't win the meet. I like
our chance against East in our dual meet in January and League in
February.
