The Tridents posted several standout swims this week, with junior Maddy Bunton posting a time of 2:03.88 in the 200-yard freestyle, taking first place in that event. Freshman Alyxandria Lunneman dropped another 4 seconds in her 200-yard individual medley, to take second place, behind senior teammate Brooke Lechleitner.

“Aly has been a great addition to our team this year,” said coach Matt Bunton. “She is starting to swim with confidence and making significant time drops.”

Sophomore Madilyn Kempen posted another personal best in the 50-yard freestyle, with a time of 28.23 and a first place finish. Frehsman teammate Alaina Meskill also dropped time in this event, hitting the wall with a time of 33.78. In the 500-yard freestyle, freshman Lauren Hanson dropped another 9 seconds, to swim a personal best time of 7:31.08.

Junior teammates Michelle Gaddy and Sanaa Trott claimed first and second in the 100-yard breaststroke, with times of 1:23.50 and 1:25.04, respectively.

“I’m very happy with how Michelle and Sanaa have been swimming this season,” said Matt. “As a team, graduating out five seniors this past season, left some big flippers to fill and these girls, along with several of their teammates, have done a good job of working hard to fill those.”
