More results from last weekend

More highlights from last weekend:

-- New Berlin won the Comet Invitational at Delavan-Darien, with 435 points to 410 for runner-up Milton (410). Fort Atkinson (380), Lake Geneva Badger/Big Foot (267.5), and the host Comets (242) rounded out the top five finishers. NB won 8 of 11 events at the meet, taking all three relays quite easily. Jasen Johnson contributed two wins each along with two legs on the winning relays, while Alex Rodenkirk (200 IM -- 2:02.99) and Josh Solie (50 free -- 22.84) also contributed wins. Johnson's 1.01.14 in the 100 breaststroke set a meet record. Also setting a meet record was Milton distance ace Jeff Maxwell, who posted a 4:49.81 in the 500 free; Maxwell also took the 200 free (1:48.82). Earlier last week, Rodenkirk broke two NB pool records in a dual meet against Wauwatoa East/West, including a 1:45.36 200 free that broke a record that had stood for 33 years. Rodenkirk also broke the pool 100 free record at the meet with a 47.99, while Johnson topped the pool record in the 100 breaststroke. (Thanks to Faith Rodenkirk of New Berlin for information on the two meets.)

-- Hartford posted a win at its own Hartford Relays, winning 82 to 80 over Sheboygan South in the all-relay meet. In an interesting twist, Hartford and Sheboygan South had a showdown in the 10-by-50 free "Battle Royale" relay to determine the winner of the meet; Hartford won 4:03.84 to South's 4:05.35 to take first place in the meet.

-- Waukesha South/Catholic Memorial won the Compass Meet Friday night with 548 points, topping runner-up Watertown with 507 points. Waukesha West finished third with 458, followed by Waukesha North/Kettle Moraine 4th (411) and Appleton West/Kimberly 5th (266). Colin Neitzel was a double-winner for WS/CM in the 200 IM (2:04.55) and 100 breaststroke (1:03.20), as was Noah Potratz (500 free -- 4:47.42; 100 back -- 59.05). Ryan Finke (200 free -- 1:47.52) and Alex Swain (100 free -- 50.48) also contributed wins for the team. Watertown's Nick Wolhaupter was a double winner in the 50 free (22.12) and 100 fly (53.39).

-- Marquette (174 points) won the Cougar Relays at Janesville Craig over Menomonee Falls/Hamilton/Germantown (160) in a meet that the MF/H/G co-op might have won save for a DQ on its first-place 400 IM relay that won by more than six seconds. Craig (142), Janesville Parker (122) and Monona Grove (110) rounded out the top five. The host Cougars set a meet record in the 300 breaststroke relay, as Spencer Mattox, Nick Strub and Alex Loftus teamed up to win in 3:16.75. Also setting meet records were the MF/H/G 4-by-100 IM relay and Marquette's backstroke relay. The best race of the day came in the 400 free relay, where two relays that qualified for the state meet last year -- D1 MF/H/G and D2 Monona Grove -- battled it out. In the end, MF/H/G star Sean Kimmitt held off MG's Aaron Pomeroy to give his relay a 3:29.98 to 3:30.11 win; the winning time also set a meet record.

-- Led by sophomore Josh Lefeber, Franklin won the Cudahy Packer Small School Invite with 299 points to 291 for runner-up Oak Creek. The host Packers finished 3rd with 192 points, followed by Beaver Dam Wayland Academy (192) and Fond du Lac (157). LeFeber set two meet records -- a 1:51.24 in the 200 free (beating a record that had been held by former state champ Michael Schultz of Martin Luther) and 1:05.26 in the 100 breaststroke. LeFeber also anchored Franklin's winning 200-yard free relay. (Thanks to Oak Creek's Marvin Vissers for results.)
