-Adams Central’s Baylee Smith finished second in the individual medley with a season-best time of 2:42.76.
-Sydnee Armes broke the Adams Central school record with her 1:04.20, cutting six tenths off her previous PR against Celina. The record previously belonged to Ali McClain and was set back in 2009. Armes is now within 1.5 seconds of last year’s sectional-winning time.
-Jenna Cook nearly caught Madison Witte at the wall, but finished just behind the Bellmont sophomore by .2 seconds, but she set a new season best of 1:01.80 with her second-place time.
-Cook then swam the lead leg of the 200 Free Relay, helping the Jets win the event with a time of 1:52.47, the fastest time this season with teammates Brooke Thomas, Smith and Armes.
-Bellmont’s top 200 Relay team also set a new season mark as Karah Myers, Hockemeyer, Cami Stetler and Witte finished in 1:54.93.
-Kate Moser swam her fastest 100 Back of the season and beat out Shaylin McCray to win the event. Moser’s winning time of 1:11.88 is just .02 slower than McCray’s county-leading time for this season, which she clocked last week at Norwell.
-Savannah Hendricks followed Moser’s lead and swam her fastest time of the season in the breaststroke, winning by six seconds over teammate Ella Bluhm in 1:20.38.
-Bluhm’s time of 1:26.64 was also her fastest of the season.
-Bellmont’s Isabelle Lengerich was just behind Bluhm in third place with her fastest time of the year.
-Coach Drew Norby made one change to his 400 Free Relay team and inserted Addie Kintz in with Hockemeyer, Karah Myers and Witte and they won the event with a 4:14.11. The only relay team to swim faster this year in the county was the same Bellmont team with Cami Stetler instead of Kintz at last week’s NE8 meet.
