The Firestorm swimming program is entering just their second year and will provide an added element to the NAU swimmers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re happy to help out Arizona Christian by giving them a racing opportunity,\u201d said head coach <strong>Andy Johns.<\/strong> \u201cThis is an easy travel for them and it makes it a little more real for our girls when there is someone else to race against. The Pentathlon is a traditional way to start the season and we\u2019ve got some girls who we think can have a great year and take down some of these records that have been around for a while.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Lumberjacks will have a total of 24 swimmers competing\u00a0<span data-term=\"goog_753227237\">on Friday<\/span>\u00a0headlined by the defending Pentathlon champion, redshirt junior <strong>Monique King<\/strong>. King won last season\u2019s meet with 3,530 points and is ready to be a full-go this season after having to redshirt last year. She narrowly edged out senior <strong>Audrey<\/strong> <strong>Mann<\/strong> for the title with senior <strong>Kimmy<\/strong> <strong>Richter<\/strong> placing third. Sophomore <strong>Kate Bier<\/strong> and senior<strong> Alina Staffeldt<\/strong> placed fourth and fifth respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The Pentathlon will consist of five events \u2013 the 200m individual medley, 100m butterfly, 100m backstroke, 100m breaststroke and 100m freestyle. Athletes will score points based on their finishing times in each event to determine the overall champion.<\/p>\n<p>While the top five finishers from a year ago return, a host of newcomers will be aiming for one of those spots. A newcomer (Hayley Edmond in 2015, King in 2016) has won the last two Pentathlons.<\/p>\n<p>Nine new swimmers including freshmen <strong>Niamh McDonagh, Sam Seiber<\/strong> and <strong>Maddie Seidl<\/strong> will be making their NAU debuts. The trio will be among those to watch out for as all have individual medley experience which suits the Pentathlon well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been building towards this with a lot of things outside the pool \u2013 spinning and lifting,\u201d Johns said. \u201cIt\u2019s the first opportunity to see our newcomers race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Four of the five event winners from last year\u2019s Pentathlon return including Mann in the 200m IM, Staffeldt in the 100m butterfly, senior <strong>Claire<\/strong> <strong>Hammond<\/strong> in the 100m backstroke and Richter in the 100m freestyle.
