Last night, in a looong meet in Appleton, against mostly D1 teams the BD/USM Boys Swimming and Diving Team set new team records...that's right TEAM records.
1. We placed and scored in EVERY event. (never before done by our team)
2. We scored 200 points.(never before done by our team at this meet)
3. We placed and scored EVERY RELAY we entered! (never before done by our team)
4. We placed and scored multiple times in 5 DIFFERENT EVENTS! (never before done by our team)
5. 5th Place of 10 teams. (never before done by our team at this meet)
We are no longer pushing that little bubble around....it's gone.
TOP 10 FINISHERS FROM APPLETON...
200 Medley Relay---8th Place---Ladd, Wong, Daniels, Lillie
200 Free-----------7th Place---Grambow
100 Butterfly------7th Place---Lillie
500 Free-----------6th Place---Wong
200 Free Relay-----8th Place--Davis, Brostowicz, Burandt, Grambow
100 Backstroke-----7th---Grambow; 10th---Lillie
100 Breaststroke---5th---Wong
400 Free Relay-----6th---Lillie, Grambow, Davis, Wong
That was a fun meet to watch, and even more fun to be a part of. Finding ourselves 28points behind Ashwaubenon with 3 events to go, it didn't look like we had enough to catch them in the team standings. However, the BD/USM athletes refused to give up and after placing 3 backstrokers in the top 13, and watching all 3 breaststrokers score, the anxiety was high. Anytime you can have the final results come down to the last event, the excitement level is high. Our "A" and "B" relays both had to beat Ashwaubenon's "A" and "B" relays...but not by a little. This was a challenge to see how much we could beat them by...if at all. When the bubbles stopped and points were tallied...Ashwaubenon-195.5---BD/USM 200.
Now THAT"S the way to end a meet...by placing 7 of the last 8 opportunities in a meet that featured one of the states best D1 teams in Bayport, and one of the top D2 teams in Whitefish Bay.
We're back on track and getting ready for the final stretch run.
YOU READY FOR THIS????????
