WISCONSIN TRIP
The JV and Varsity traveled up to Hartland Wisconsin Saturday to compete against Wisconsin powerhouses Madison Memorial and Arrowhead HS. Madison West or Arrowhead has been crowned Wisconsin State Champs in 14 of the last 15 years. The meet was tight up to the last 3 events when both Madison and Arrowhead pulled away. On the JV level our depth was too much for the Wisconsin teams and we won easily.
Arrowhead pool records were set by Sam Iida in the 200 IM and 500 free. The medley relay of Iida/Schulte/Zuiker/Wells also set a pool record in the 200 Medley relay. GBS swimmers now own over half the pool records at Arrowhead (joined by Cordes-200 free (2008)/Cubelic 50 free(2010)/400 relay-Hengels/Cordes/Cubelic/Hwang(2008).
