The University swim teams swept the Pioneer Conference meets Saturday at Ball State University. It’s the first time in school history that the Trailblazers have won a conference swimming meet.
The UHS girls won a meet that was decided by the final event. Every swimmer on the Trailblazers’ team scored in at least on event, including a win from the 200 free relay team of Stasia Reinholt, Caitlin Clark, Kylar Kavanaugh, and Macy Paton. Charlotte Kumler won the 100 backstroke.
University’s boys dominated the meet, winning eight of the 11 swimming events. The ‘Blazers had two double winners: Cole Reinholt in the individual medley and breaststroke and Keegan Priest in the butterfly and backstroke. Hayden Suarez-Davis placed first in the 50 free.
University swept all three relays: Priest, Reinholt, Cordell Wilson and Suarez-Davis won the medley relay; Suarez-Davis, Asher Whitcomb, Wilson and Austin Clark were first in the 200 free relay; and Whitcomb, Clark, Reinholt and Priest paced the 400 free relay.
The ‘Blazers set four new records at the meet: The medley relay swam in 1:52.08, while Priest broke his own records in the butterfly (55.63) and backstroke (57.27). Reinholt broke his own record in the breaststroke (1:10.17).
