Swimmers place 5th at Holiday Spectacular

    Lady Dragon swimmers earned 125 points for a fifth-place finish in the Holiday Spectacular in Windsor Saturday, Dec. 23.
    The team ended its 2017 competitive season with improved times and overall excellent performances, noted coach Aly Brinkema.
    “We spent the first week over break in intense training. The ability to race fast despite being very worn down displays the team’s mental toughness,” added Brinkema.
    Rylee Schneller earned a state-qualifying time in the 100-yard freestyle, placing third with a time of 1:00.43. Also in that event, earning team points were Lali Marquez, 10th, 1:05.39; Anna Jelden, 11th, 1:08.38; and Demiah Hernandez, 12th, 1:11.09.
    Coach Adria Colver noted that Regan Van Overbeke, placing fourth in the 200-yard freestyle with 2:16.95, and Marquez, third with 1:10.99 in the 100-yard butterfly, are both ever so close to qualifying for state.
