The Door County United swimming team had another solid night at the pool during an away meet at Kiel on Thursday.
There were nine new high school best times or splits, a bit remarkable for this point in the season. The boys claimed third tonight with a total of 68 points. There were three outright first-place wins tonight, three second-place finishes, and two thirds. It's not too shabby for a meet's 11 varsity swimming events.
Here are the highlights:
- A 3rd place finish in the 200 Medley Relay (Luke Filar, Jack Monfils, George Atwell, Logan Filar) with a time of 1:54.02 during which Monfils swam his fastest 50 Breast split of high school with a 28.10.
- Linnan proved his grit with a 4th place finish in the 200 Free with a 2:12.00, beating his other previous high school time by a full five seconds.
- Logan Filar swam the 200 IM capturing 2nd with a time of 2:20.45.
- Atwell took 2nd in the 50 Free and captured his high school personal best in an individual non-relay 50.
- Linnan swam his season best 100 Fly at a time of 1:05.79, just off his season best from last year, to take 5th.
- Monfils took 1st in the 100 Free with a time of 50.69, the best individual 100 I have on record in his high school career.
- Atwell swam a super consistent and solid 500 Free taking 4th at a time of 6:13.08, a full 12 seconds faster than any other time this season.
- The 200 Free Relay (Logan Filar, Luke Filar, Linnan, Monfils) claimed an easy 1st place victory with a time of 1:36.90, the season's best time (and only .16 off the 16th place state qualifying time from last year). In the relay, Luke Filar swam his fastest relay split of the season at 25.05, and Linnan swam his fastest high school 50 split at 24.24, and Monfils swam his fastest high school 50 split at 23.07.
