D3 Invite Results

As I've mentioned to the girls, the D3 Invite is a great meet half-way through the season that previews what our Conference and State meets will be like.  It's also a fun opportunity to compete against some of the best teams in our Division, and we certainly took advantage of it!  Overall, we had a boatload of season-best times, many best-ever in-season times, and even a few lifetime bests.  More importantly, we had a lot of close races where a Maroon came out on top.  It takes a certain attitude, a certain fight, to chase someone down or hold someone off at the end of a race.  On the diving end, with only 10 divers competing, the rounds flew by.  But, that too is a good preparation for how an 11-dive format for Conference and Regionals will be.  Anyway, standout performances listed below with results following...

• Areal Tolsma: lifetime best 11-dive score of 305.50, smashing her high from last year
• Robyn Ellens: life-time bests in both the 200 Free and 500 Free
• Mackenzie Norman:  4.5+ second drop in the 200 Free
• Anna Franz: 2+ second drop in the 200 IM
• Katherine Heeres: 25.82 to Anchor the Medley and ~1 sec drop in the 200 IM
• Emily Slenk: 1.5+ second drop in the 200 IM
• Taylor Moralez: ~2 sec drop in the 200 IM and lifetime best split of 1:00.06 in the 100 Free
