Thursday's girls meet with Danville was a better meet than the score indicates. The Cadet ladies get the win with a score of 108-70 by having more depth than the warriors. Both teams swam extremely well with most of the races being separated by hundredths of a second. A couple of examples of the competition in this meet can be seen in the results from the 200 free and 200 IM events, In the 200 free McKenna Potters finished 3rd ahead of Danville's Chloe Hacker by .03 of a second. In the 200 IM Danville's Maggie Hudson outreached Emma Phipps by .93 hundredths for the win. In the same race Katianne Bolinger made it to the wall .35 hundredths of a second faster than Danville's Amelia Enslin. Cadet divers Courtney Shostrand and London Moore continue to improve as the pair went 1-2. Emma Phipps and Katianne Bolinger finished 1-2 in the 100 butterfly. Taylor Trusty and Shaelyn Skidmore finished 1-2 in the 100 free event. The 500 free event had Isabelle Vieting, Molly Goff and Lilly Lanphier chasing Danville's Maggie Hudson to a 2-3-4 finish. In the 100 backstroke McKenna Potters dropped 2 seconds in a 3rd place finish. Shaelyn Skidmore dropped 2 seconds in the 100 breaststroke in her 1st place finish. From the coach: This was a good team win for the girls. We challenged the girls to step up and be a difference maker in the meet and they did just that. Sometimes you can't look at the time on the stopwatch, you have to look at the effort that they are putting forth. Tonight, it was the effort that put them over the top. The 6-1 Cadets travel to Clinton Central HS on Saturday for the CC Invitational.
