This meet was scored as a tri-dual meet. That means it was scored as if USN swam individual dual meets against Ensworth, Harding, and CPA. The results were as follows:
COMBINED USN beat CPA (121-100) and Harding (113-91) and lost to Ensworth (68-201).
USN BOYS beat Harding (56-34) and lost to CPA (64-47) and Ensworth (88-40).
USN GIRLS beat CPA (74-36), tied with Harding (57-57), and lost to Ensworth (113-28).
As a reminder, in a dual meet, the top 5 scorers in each individual event earn points, but no more than 3 of those swimmers can be from the same team (relays are scored differently). For example, in the girls' 50 freestyle, in the meet against Ensworth, we came in 2nd (Fair Wellons) and 5th (Martha Gray Sasser) and Ensworth came in 1st, 3rd, and 4th. However, since Fair Wellons, Martha Gray Sasser, and Melis Kurtulus ALL beat every swimmer from Harding and CPA, they came in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively in those meets.
Nonetheless, here are swimmers who scored in each event in at least one meet:
100 Breast: Maggie Weiss, Rose Theobald, Norah Clarke, Miles Lewis
This was our first time this season in a legal, 25 yard pool, so that means it is was everyone's first time swimming a 50 free this season-- congratulations! That does also mean that "best times" are a bit wonky, but here are some standouts:
Martha Gray, Melis, Coco, and Maggie all earned their MTHSSA cut in the 50 free!
Falcon also went a sub-30 50 free.
Hattie dropped a smidge of time in her 100 free.
Jack went 3 seconds faster than he has this season in the 100 free, and he fought for the last 5 yards to outtouch his competitor.
Oliver and Rishav also had a fantastic race to the finish in the 100 free after a race with good walls.
For the third time, the junior has earned recognition for her C-SPAN StudentCam documentary. Elected officials and a representative from the network honored her during High School Assembly on Friday, May 2.
Congratulations to Max Parker ’29, Anisha Nachnani ’32, Indy O’Hare ’32, and Lucas Lupu ’31, who took home the top prize at the USN Quiz Bowl Championship.
