The Fremont High School boys varsity swim team got the opening meet jitters out
of the way in the first half of the meet against the Grand Rapids Creston/Central
team on Thursday, Dec.4.
Fremont Coach Mary Pekel said that her young team worked out of its first half nerves
to post a strong finish in the second half, but not enough to catch the Grand Rapids
team, which won by a score of 104 to 81.
‘After only six days of practice with half the team being new, we swam much better
times and started taking some places at the end,” Pekel said.
In the 100m back stroke, the Packers took the top three with DJ Schilhaneck in first
with 1:16.58. Chris Hall took second and Andrew Hines was third.
In the 100m breast stroke, Fremont’s Nate McLean took first and Mike DeKuiper was
second. In the 400m freestyle relay, Fremont took second and third.
TJ Davis, Zach McGinn and Mark Dulyea took third, fourth and fifth place, respectively,
in their first diving meet.
The team of Hall, DeKuiper, Ben Blamer and Keith Marek placed third in the 200 medley
relay. McLean placed second in the 50m freestyle and Hines was second in the 100m
butterfly. Hall won the 500m freestyle and Matt Rusco was second.
The team of McGinn, Schilhaneck, Rob Content and McLean placed second in the 200
freestyle relay. The team of Blamer, DeKuiper, Logan Essebaggers and Hines was third.
The team of Marek, Essebaggers, Hunter Hannah and Richard Andre placed second in
the 400m freestyle relay, and the team of Nate Hawkins, Rusco, Blamer and Hall placed
third.
