For Donegal seniors Emma Myers, Kylie Wilkinson and Sierra Houck, it seemed to have been another ordinary swim meet.
"Sierra getting her two silver medals in the 50 and 100 freestyles were the highlights for Donegal," said the team's swim coach, Isaac Greene. "Both of her times were personal bests. She has a great position for states."
Houck posted a time of 24.60 seconds in the 50-yard freestyle in the District Three Class 2A championships held at CV on March 3 and 4. She placed second in the 100 free with a time of 54.27.
Wilkinson and Myers took sixth and seventh, respectively, in the 200 freestyle with times of 2:01.53 and 2:02.52. Wilkinson also came in eighth place (56.56) in the 100 freestyle.
"Kylie did a great job with her 200 and 100," Greene said. "Her 100 fell short of the state cut. She is in for the 200."
"Emma is a state alternate for the 200," continued the coach. "She also showed lots of improvement."
Myers swam the 500 free at a 5:36.84 clip, finishing fifth.
Sophomore Haley Leibfried earned 12th place (1:07.24) in the 100 backstroke. She swam a strong 200 individual medley as well, earning 13th place with her time of 2:24.81.
"Haley continues to improve," said Greene. "She battled through some shoulder injuries this year and looks to be back stronger next year."
The only district qualifier for the boys' team was freshman Thomas Dohl Jr. He improved on his Lancaster-Lebanon League championship time of 1:02.44 by swimming the 100-yard butterfly at a 1:01.65 pace. He finished 18th in the event. Dohl also improved his seeding time for the 100 breaststroke, recording a time of 1:11.95.
"Thomas Dohl Jr. improved again on his fly," said Greene. "As a freshman, he has a bright future ahead."
BOWLING
Cooper Palmer represented Donegal at the District Three Regional Tournament on March 3 at Leisure Lanes.
"It was a very tough oil pattern, and Cooper struggled with that," said Paul Stubenrauch, the Indians' coach. "But he got to experience what type of oil patterns will be used in future league and regional tournaments."
Palmer finished in 14th place overall.
