Saturday GRC Swim and Dive headed over to Northview for a sprint invite meet! Natalie Wickstrom kicked off the momentum for the team by taking 4th in diving followed by Setlock taking 6th, VandenBerg 9th, and VanderPloeg 13th. 

The Eagles took to the pool then starting the meet with a second place finish from the A relay (Harkness/Hoekstra/Carpenter/Mills) in the 200 med relay. The team locked in a state cut as well! Individual events started with the 100 free where Freshman Veda Harkness took 5th and Junior Janie Mills touched in at 7th place. A once a year chance to swim the 100 IM popped up this weekend too. Hoekstra, Mills, Harkness and VanderHeide dove into a strokers dream finishing 3rd, 5th, 12th and 15th respectively. Grace Carpenter snatched a win in the 50 fly by over a half second touching at a 27.66. With 3 events to go GRC was moving around between second and third place which was much higher placing than we expected. After the 50 back and breast we were down by one point. Our B 200 free relay (Mills/Harkness/VanderHeide/Enders) made a big jump moving to 8th place. The A relay of Carpenter/Mills/Harkness/Hoekstra  dove finishing 3rd which secured the team's second place finish. 

The team has an off week and will be competing in a tri meet next Tuesday at home!
