The Wisconsin Girls Division 1 High School Swimming state championships was highlighted by a number of close races. In many swims the state champion was decided by under a tenth of a second.<\/p>\n

Middleton and Cedarburg swam ahead of the pack in the opening 200 medley relay.\u00a0Chiara Pierobon Mays<\/strong>,\u00a0Ally Silvestri<\/strong>,\u00a0Gabriela Pierobon Mays<\/strong>, and\u00a0Berkely Smith\u00a0<\/strong>got to the wall first for Middleton in 1:42.92. Cedarburg’s\u00a0Lille Hosack<\/strong>,\u00a0Sophia Remington<\/strong>,\u00a0Brigid Gwidt<\/strong>, and\u00a0Katie Kubiak\u00a0<\/strong>were second in 1:43.44.<\/p>\n

Hosak, a Wisconsin Badgers commit<\/a>, won the 200 IM in 1:58.13, lowering her own state record by over a second. Finishing second was Bay Port’s\u00a0Emma Lasecki\u00a0<\/strong>(2:02.98).<\/p>\n

Two swimmers raced under 1:50 in the 200 freestyle. Menomonee Falls\/Hamilton sophomore\u00a0Cassie Stegner\u00a0<\/strong>out touched Stevens Point senior\u00a0Julia Stupar\u00a0<\/strong>1:49.77 to 1:49.78 for gold. Arrowhead senior\u00a0Abby Cabush\u00a0<\/strong>rounded out the podium in 1:50.60.<\/p>\n

Stegner won again, once again by a narrow margin in the 100 free. She touched in 51.03 to Stupar’s 51.09.\u00a0Brookefield Central senior\u00a0Gwen Gustafson\u00a0<\/strong>was third (51.41).<\/p>\n

It was another touch out in the 50 freestyle. Grace Bennin\u00a0<\/strong>of\u00a0Verona Area\/Mount Horeb stopped the clock in 23.27, just .01 faster than the 23.28 from Gustafson. Sun Prairie’s\u00a0Sophie Fiske\u00a0<\/strong>(23.51) grabbed bronze. Benin earned another gold in the 100 breaststroke with a 1:02.17.<\/p>\n

Close finishes appeared to be the theme of the day. In the 100 fly Gabriela Pierobon Mays was first to the wall with her 55.04, just ahead of Lasecki (55.12) and Madison West’s\u00a0Katrina Marty\u00a0<\/strong>(55.32).<\/p>\n

Neenah sophomore\u00a0Av Osero\u00a0<\/strong>broke through the 500 point barrier to win one meter diving with a score of 511.50.<\/p>\n

Middleton went two for two on relay victories as the team of\u00a0Cora Mack<\/strong>, Smith,\u00a0Hannah Aegerter\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Caroline Hippen\u00a0<\/strong>turned in a 1:34.65 in the 200 freestyle relay.<\/p>\n

West out touched Hosack 53.88 to 53.98 for the state title in the 100 backstroke.<\/p>\n

Powered by a 48.38 anchor from Hosack, Cedarburg took the 400 freestyle relay in 3:24.46.\u00a0Maya Novack<\/strong>,\u00a0Erika Remington<\/strong>, and\u00a0Brigid Gwidt\u00a0<\/strong>swam the first three legs.<\/p>\n

Middleton totaled 313.5 points for the victory. Cedarburg was second with 242 and Arrowhead finished third with 189 points.<\/p>\n
