Both Lock Haven and Jersey Shore were working with a skeleton crew in
the older age groups during this past Saturday's YMCA dual meet. The high school kids were participating in
the Arctic Swim Classic in Clearfield (Central Mountain High School boy
swimmers took fifth) so much of the competition took place with the younger age
groups.
Shore's 12-and-under girls won 8 out of 9 events for the day
and started their winning ways with a solid swim in the
opening 200 medley relay. Hannah
Stemler, Shore's leadoff swimmer, created a lead in her backstroke start that
Lock Haven's other two relays could not catch.
Her teammates Sam Keegan, Ashlyn Wool, and Allison Panczyszyn
capped the relay win in a time of 2:32.52.
The 50 freestyle event is a
favorite amongst most swimmers, so it was no surprise the 12-and-
under girls 50 meter freestyle had
18 entries (the largest event of the whole meet). Shore's Emma Butzler and Panczyszyn built on the momentum
from the opening relay by capturing first and third respectively in the
50 free while Lock Haven's Kelsie Buckwalter captured second.
The black and orange continued the
trend when Keegan and Stemler swam against another crowded field (9 other
swimmers) in the 100 meter freestyle to go 1-2 respectively. The next event, the 200 meter freestyle,
Shore took first and second place as Butzler finished in a time of 2:19.96
followed by Stemler at 3:02.85. Keegan
and Butzler went on to also win the 50 meter breaststroke and butterfly
respectively. Shore's Wool won the 50
meter backstroke over teammate Isabella Hale.
Lock Haven sole win was with Kelsie Buckwalter in the 200 individual
medley.
Lock Haven's 10-and-under boys were
as in control of their age group as Shore's 12-and-under girls were by winning
every event. From the opening 200 medley
relay of Will Straley, Leisher Gugino, Elijah Persun, and Tyler Cygan to the
final 200 meter freestyle relay (same foursome), the boys put in a solid performance. Cygan and Persun won the 100 meter freestyle
and individual medley respectively while Gugino and Parker Orndorf won the 50
meter breaststroke and butterfly respectively.
Teammate Paul Shimko was Lock Haven's 10-and-under boys sole double
individual winner in the 50 meter freestyle and backstroke events.
