NORTH MANCHESTER – Manchester and Tippecanoe Valley swimming teams split their Three Rivers Conference meet Thursday. The Lady Squires won 90-57 over Valley, while the Vikings took a 103-51 win over Manchester. The girls competition was more a matter of roster depth, as the team split wins in the 12 events. The Lady Vikings had two double winners; Kate Gunter won the 200 IM and the 500 freestyle and Kinzie Prater was first in the 50 freestyle and the 100 butterfly. Lea Stouder won the 200 freestyle for Valley. Madyson Ulrey won the 100 freestyle for the Lady Squires and Allison Smith took the 100 backstroke. Alexis Vernon was first in the 100 breaststroke, and Manchester won all three relay races. Tippecanoe Valley had a trio of double winners in the boys competition. Chase Brower was victorious in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke, and Daniel Alexander likewise in the 200 IM and the 100 butterfly. Tyler Ross won the 50 and 100 freestyle races. Noah Cain was the lone individual race winner for Manchester, taking the 500 freestyle. The Squires also won the 200 and 400 freestyle relays. The Manchester teams will swim at Elwood on Monday.
