Wrapping up last weekend

A few more results from last weekend's swim meets:

-- Brookfield topped New Berlin and Greenfield/Greendale at the Bob White Invitational in Wauwatosa. Coming off a near-miss to #1 (Div. 1) Waukesha South/Catholic Memorial in a dual meet, Brookfield tallied 558 points to easily top NB (408) and G/G (306). The best race of the day saw Brookfield's Spencer Rose just hold off G/G's Matt Jungers by .01 to win the 200 IM in 2:02.14. G/G's Mike Lucchesi (50/100 frees) and Jack Lennertz (100 fly/back), along with NB's Alex Rodenrkirk (200/500 frees) all recorded double wins at the meet. Brookfield's wins came from sophomore diver William Sass and its 400 free relay. Full results here...

-- Racine Case topped a 10-team field at the Racine County Invitational held at Racine Park HS Saturday with 359 points to 293 for runner-up Lake Geneva Badger. Kenosha Bradford's Joe and John DeVroy and Watertown's Nick Wolhaupter were all double-winners at the meet. Coverage here from the Racine Journal-Times:

-- The battle of the Wuerger coaches went to Bill of Verona/Mount Horeb, as his Wildcats edged brother Todd's Sauk Prairie/Wisconsin Heights squad 88-82 Saturday at Sauk's pool. Sauk had the better of it in winning races, taking nine of the 11 events. But Verona's superior depth proved the difference. There were some terrific races in this meet, including Sauk's Tyler Lentz just edging out Verona's Derek Toomey in the 200 free, and teammate Matt Friede doing the same to Toomey in the 100 free.

Any word or times from Ashwaubenon this year? I know they graduated quite a few swimmers but they have quality coaches and usually pretty good numbers.

I've been following their times filed to the Green Bay paper, and to be honest I haven't seen anything that's overwhelmed me. They have a couple of returning state qualifiers from last year -- Jacob Klika in the 500 and Jason Kraus in the back -- and they also have a good sophomore in Andrew Jablonski. But I don't know if they have the depth of top-quality swimmers to get multiple relays through to state as they have in the past. I think they'll score pretty well at the Point sectional, which doesn't appear to be that deep, because that program always has good depth. But Ashwaubenon was probably hurt more by graduation than any other D2 team this year -- a lot of talented senior swam for that team last year.
