Greencastle swimmers split with Cascade on senior night
Coming off an impressive sweep in both the boys' and girls' swimming and diving West Central Conference meets on Saturday, Greencastle returned to the pool Wednesday, hosting conference rival Cascade.
The Cadet girls lost a close contest on Saturday, but got their revenge on Wednesday, beating Greencastle 94-92.
Like Saturday, the contest came down to the final relay, but Cascade turned the tables this time and won the 400 freestyle event.
In the boys competition, the Tiger Cubs continued their season-long execution, winning 115-64.
"(It was) a tough fought meet last night between our girls and Cascade," GHS coach Kent Menzel said. "For the night -- though we swam well -- Cascade had the edge."
Greencastle started the night getting another win in the 200 medley relay with a team of freshman Mallary Meyer, junior Emily Wheeler, freshman Libby Brush and junior Rachel Custis topping the Cadets by more than five seconds.
Brush also picked up an individual win in the 200 IM, and freshman Amelia Smith won the 100 free.
Menzel also singled out the performance of junior Rosio Gomez, whose solid swims provided depth that piled up points to keep GHS in the contest.
The boys team had depth as well, but they also piled up wins.
"The boys worked well last night against the small but spirited Cascade squad," Menzel said. "(Junior) Nash Firebaugh and (sophomore) Elijah Brattain continued to swim well, but Jacob Kessler (100 fly), Taylor Secrest (50 free), Jason Ummel (500 free) and Nathan Gardner (100 breast) all had breakthrough swims."
It was a bittersweet night for the hosts. The Tiger Cubs held senior night against Cascade in what may be the last home dual for many of the competitors.
"Our team was proud, but sad, to honor our six seniors, including Alex Asbell, Kae Lynn Cox, Bryce Hudson, Kaitlynne Mason, Janelle Mason and Josie Wood," Menzel said. "All six have worked very hard to provide leadership for GHS swimming and diving and they will be missed next year."
The Tiger Cubs will now gear up for the Athenians Invitational on Saturday, Jan. 19 at Cascade at 9 a.m., and Menzel said he expects some great performances.
