Dodgers honor seniors in pool
Trending
The Fort Dodge girls swim team honored seniors Danica Diedrick, Breeanna Kalvig, Teagan Loots, Kylen Lubensky and Karlee Pearson here Thursday night.
Spencer swept the triangular, besting both the Dodgers and Carroll. The Tigers also picked up a dual victory over Fort Dodge.
But for FDSH head coach Ashley Beaumont, the night was more about celebrating her five senior swimmers.
"It was a great night for our seniors," Beaumont said. "As a way to honor them, we allowed them to select their events to swim in.
"For this time of year, everyone swam really well. Carroll and Spencer are two very tough teams, so we decided to try some new events."
Pearson picked up the lone individual silver, finishing second in the 100 freestyle. She posted a time of 1:01.63.
Lubensky, Pearson, Makayla Knox and Clara Brown earned a runner-up in the 200 freestyle relay, going 1:52.87. That included a lead-off swim from Lubensky in 26.9.
In the 200 medley relay, Lubensky, Pearson, Brown and Knox finished third in 2:08.26. Knox capped the swim off with a 29.2 closing leg.
"I am very proud of the girls and can't wait for next week and our last regular season meet," Beaumont said. "Being right on best times for the season is great as we look towards regionals."
Fort Dodge returns to the pool on Thursday, Oct. 15 when they travel to Mason City for the final meet of the regular season. They will host the Iowa Alliance Conference championships on Thursday, Oct. 22.
