Fit to be tied

One of the better D2 sprint match-ups took place this week at the meet between Milwaukee suburban squads Whitnall and New Berlin Eisenhower. The 50 free featured NBE sophomore Alli Bellford against Whitnall senior Kate Schubert.

Bellford was the surprise 3rd-place finisher in the 50 free at last year's D2 state meet; Schubert, meanwhile, was a big reason why Whitnall qualified all three of its relays for the state meet last year, swimming legs on both the 200 and 400 free relays as well as the fly leg on the medley relay. She also finished 10th in the 100 fly at state.

At the dual meet, Bellford and Schubert ended tied for the 1st in the 50 free, with both girls swimming a 25.76. Bellford also took the 100 free (57.34), but Schubert helped her team to a 92-78 win with a win in the fly and swimming legs on the decisive winning medley and 400 free relays for Whitnall.

The two will likely face each other again, as both participate in the Cudahay sectional.
