DCU swims strong at Ashwaubenon Jaguar Invite

The Door County United Girls Swim Team took 13th overall at the Ashwaubenon Jaguar Invite, earning a total of 39 total points, ahead of Notre Dame. The field of competitors included nine Division 1 swim teams, in addition to two of their fellow conference competitors, Seymour and Wittenberg-Birnamwood.

 

The combined efforts of Quinn Sperber (Sophmore-SDHS), Hazel Monfils (Freshman-SDHS), Chloe Bissen (Senior-SBHS), and Kailyn Neville (Senior-SDHS) took 12th overall in the 200 Medley Relay, earning 10 total points. Their efforts were supported in the 200 Free Relay where Bissen, Jillian Peterson (Freshman-SBHS), Monfils, and Neville found their way into 14th place to add an additional six points.

 

Both Monfils and Neville also contributed to the team's efforts in their individual events, supported by junior Shaeffer Rass (SEV). Monfils earned 10 individual points while swimming two personal bests, taking 14th in the 200 IM and 10th in the 100 Breast. In the 100 Breast, Rass joined her in the rankings taking 12th and bringing in five points. Neville placed 10th in the 200 Free and 16th in the 500 Free to earn eight points for the day.

 

Juniors Rachel Rock (SEV) and Hannah Denil (SBHS) also showed strong growth in the swims throughout the day, swimming personal bests in all of their swims throughout the meet. Rock dropped seven seconds on her 100 Back, improving the personal best she had just set Thursday against Clintonville. In a similar fashion, Denil dropped seven seconds on her 50 Free, dropping under 40 seconds for the first time in her high school career.

 

DCU's next meet is on Thursday, September 18 as they travel to swim against Marinette and resume conference competition.
