LA CROSSE – The Marshfield girls swim team won nine of 11 events, knocking off La Crosse Logan/Central 110-59 on Thursday in a dual meet.
Sarah Claessens took first in the 200 freestyle (2:12.33) and the 100 backstroke (1:11.57) to capture two of the Tigers’ seven individual victories.
Other individual winners for Marshfield were Anna Hilbelink in the 200 individual medley (2:35.14), Walker Guzowski in the 50 freestyle (28.20), Jenna Nordin in the 100 butterfly (1:23.46), Karen Scheuer in the 500 freestyle (6:16.30) and Elizabeth Holbrook in the 100 breaststroke (1:18.84).
The Tigers 200 medley relay team of Charlotte Urban, Guzowski, Holbrook and Claessens were first in 2:11.36 and the 400 freestyle relay team of Claessens, Hilbelink, Maggie Huettl and Nordin also won in 4:27.89.
“After a series of relay meets it feels good to have individual times to build the team,” Marshfield coach Faye Egger said. “We had some good swims from all our athletes. The varsity girls really stepped up to the plate in their events and our freshmen and sophomores followed right along.”
Marshfield has a week off before getting back in the pool for its first Wisconsin Valley Conference dual meet on Sept. 19 at home against Merrill. The meet starts at 5:30 p.m.
