Posted
DUNLAP – Warsaw’s Brenna Morgan was the only swimmer to stand between Northridge and a sweep of all 12 events at the Northern Lakes Conference Swimming and Diving Championships  at Concord Saturday.
Morgan was a double winner, taking the 50 freestyle in 23.94, just .06 seconds off her conference record set in Thursday’s preliminaries. She then set a school record in the 100 free at 51.50.
Lady Tiger freshman Delaney Wihebrink finished second in the 200 individual medley and third in the 100 backstroke. Warsaw’s 200 medley relay team of Morgan, Wihebrink, Lauren Kuhl and Olivia Herman finished second, and the quartet of Morgan, Herman, Kuhl and Laurel Moeller took second in the 200 freestyle relay. Warsaw finished fourth overall.
WAWASEE TAKES THIRD
Wawasee’s Paige Miller earned All-NLC honors with second-place finishes in the 200 and 500 free. The Lady Warriors also had three swimmers win consolation races; Shelby Adams the 200 free, Lizzie Brugh the 50 free and Madison McBride the 100 free.
The 400 freestyle relay team of Kayla Hershberger, Alyssa Koch, Adams and Miller finished second.
Warsaw will host a sectional on Feb. 4 & 6, and Wawasee will return to Concord for its sectional on the same dates.
