Hartland Arrowhead, bringing to the table the kind of depth few Div. 1 teams can match, ran away with the Classic 8/Greater Metro Conference swim meet at the Waukesha South pool Saturday. HA scored 548 points; current #1 Waukesha South/Catholic Memorial took second with 391. Truth be told, the conference meet suits HA, with lots of deep talent, better than WS/CM, which has plenty of top-tier talent but not nearly as much depth. Brookfield finished 3rd (362), with Menomonee Falls/Germantown/Hamilton 4th (340) and Marquette 5th (325) in a meet that saw some of the top talent in suburban Milwaukee.
It was a meet with plenty of highlights; here are a few:
-- Arrowhead won the medley and 400 free relays -- the first by nearly a second over WS/CM in a match-up of two of the very best medleys in the state, and the final relay by a mere .25 seconds again over WS/CM that saw all eight swimmers on both relays under 50 seconds. The WS/CM Blackshirts got their lone relay win in the 200 free relay, beating out Brookfield by nearly a second in a fine time of 1:29.64.
-- Marquette's Lucas Kuriga took both the 50 and 100 frees, the latter in a season-best 47.60.
-- The 200 free saw five swimmers go under 1:48, led by Arrowhead's Jake Prodoehl (1:45.07), followed by a trio of Blackshirts. The 200 free demonstrated just what kind of depth teams had to contend with against HA; Arrowhead swimmers also finished 7th, 9th, 10th, and 11th in the race (all under 1:55), racking up 54 points in a single event for the team.
-- The 200 IM saw three swimmers go under 2:03, led by Brookfield's Spencer Rose, who continued his solid season with a win in 1:59.74.
-- The Blackshirts' Noah Potratz and Max Evans-Nolan continued to dominate the 500 free, going 1-2 in the event with both swimmers breaking 4:45.
-- In the closest race of the day, Marquette's Joe Bastien out-touched Arrowhead's Chris Jenkyns by .05 seconds to win the 100 back.
-- MF/G/H's Nath Cox looks fully ready to defend his D1 diving crown, as he picked up a meet-record win of 488.35 points, topping the previous record set by his brother Danny in 2006. Cox won by 67+-points over Marquette's Mike Donofrio.
