Swimming: Heights girls remain undefeated

The Hamilton Heights girls swim team continued its undefeated season on Thursday by beating Lewis Cass 129-54.
Huskies swimmers Claire Sloderbeck and Rachel Sanqunetti had wins in all four of their events. Sloderbeck and Sanqunetti were both part of the 200 medley and 400 freestyles relay. Then individually, Sloderbeck won the 50 and 100 freestyles, with Sanqunetti pacing the 200 free and backstroke. Heights wound up with a sweep in the backstroke with Tiffany Williams placing second and Allison Osborne taking third.
Emily Lester won the breaststroke and Tara Holder was No. 1 in the 500 free. The 200 free relay was swam by Allison Osborne, Lucy Uhrick, Ryleigh Poe and Madi Hasler. Other notable swims were by freshman Carlie Flintoff in the butterfly, swimming a personal best by three seconds, and Gen Trese swimming her best ever breaststroke.
The Heights boys lost 112-60. The Huskies were led by three-time winner Jared Holder, who anchored the 400 free relay and triumphed both the 50 free and backstroke.
Logan Fakes was also on the winning relay and won the breaststroke. Travis Kruetzer had his best time in the 200 free by six seconds as did Joe Ringer in the 500 free. Josh Glover also turned in his fastest split on the 400 free relay.
The Huskies will host their annual invitational on Saturday.
