GIRLS SWIM AND DIVE
On Tuesday, September 12th at 8:30 pm, another battle took place between the Sammamish Totems and the Interlake Saints. This was no football game, but rather, a battle for dominance in the pool. The Totems are fielding a team of 50 girls this year and are enthusiastic about their potential in the 2A ranks. For the past several years, the Totems have been annihilated in the pool by the Saints, but this year, it would be a much closer meet. The Totems posted several first place finishes including Freshman Jillian Weber’s first place finishes in the 200 I.M, and the 100 Fly, freshman Katie Walz placed first in the 50 free and sophomore Kayla Chenier’s finished first in the 100 backstroke. However, in swimming, more points are accrued for first place finishes in the relays. Unfortunately, the Saints took first and third in the 200 medley relay. The Totems 200 free relay teams took the blocks with a determination to answer and did so resoundingly. The “A” relay team of Kayla Chenier, Kona Kao, Tesslyn Matthes and Katie Walz won with a time of 1:47.00 and punched their dance card for state in doing so. The “B” relay of Sierra Rosenow, Lilje Stratton, Heidi Stabbert and Anna Schulz finished 3rd in 2:01.82. The Saints’ first place finishers included Erin Harvey in the 200 freestyle and the 100 freestyle, Jacqueline Jou in the 500 free and Iris Yang in the 100 breaststroke, with Sammamish picking second and third in each of these races. The Dive teams also contributed to the scoring with Dagny Leopold of Interlake taking first, Anna Troje of Sammamish second and Lisa Stutzman of Interlake third. The score was 85 to 84 in favor of the Saints going into the final event of the evening; the 400 yard freestyle relay. The Saints came out strong with their first leg and built up an unsurpassable lead winning in a time of 3:48.24. Sammamish “A” came in second and Interlake “B’ finished third. The final score of the meet was 95-88 in favor of Interlake. The competition was fierce in the pool and the Totems didn’t come out on top, but there were 22 personal best times for the team showing a determination to improve and to make some waves in 2A swimming this year.
