The Winhawks (1-1) will be looking to kick off 2010 with a win over the well manned Austin Packers (1-2). The meet will be a close one in score and may very well come down to teh last relay.
Austin sports a squad of over 40 swimmers & divers which should offer challenges at all levels for the Winhawks.
The meet should start out on an up note with the Winhawk 400 Medley Relay of Sr. Captain Ryan Whalen, Sr. Santino LaPorta, 8th Gr. Roger Brosnahan and Jr. Louie LaPorta winning a closely fought race.
The 200 Free will be a great match-up with Winhawk Sr. Josh Danzinger swimming side-by-side with Austin’s Sr. Nick Brehmer.
The 200 IM may be a 1-2 finish for Austin unless 8th Gr. Cal Dretske and Sr. Matt Bagshaw dig deep and break up their finish.
The 50 Free will be a great test for Sr. Winhawk Ryan Whalen when Austin’s Sr. speedster Zach Rausch stays with Ryan through the turn and pushes him all the way to the end.
Diving will be a good show and Winhawk Jr. Justin Bublitz will bring home the win with Winhawk Jr. Stan Petkov staring at the opportunity to rip a few of his higher DD dives and steal 2nd place from Austin’s Caleb Bentley.
The 100 Butterfly will be fun to watch and the Winhawk’s Sr. Matt Bagshaw, to date the only entry in the 100 Fly for Winona, will have to shave a few seconds to score high against the two leading Austin flyers.
The 100 Free should again feature Austin’s Sr. freestyler Zach Rausch, which means Head Coach Amy Schulz may have to counter with Winhawk Senior Ryan Whalen here as well which would be a great race. If that happens, watch for Winhawk 8th Gr. Roger Brosnahan to jump into the fray and swim his best of the season to keep both old guys honest.
The 500 Free will also be a great race to take in. Winhawk Sr. Josh Danzinger may very well go side by side with Austin’s Jr. Michael Thorsheim the entire 500 yards make for a tense finish.
The 200 Free Relay team for the Winhawks of Danzinger, L. LaPorta, Brosnahan and Whalen will need to swim a season high to assure a win in what should be an exciting race and finish.
The 100 Backstroke should be interesting if the Winhawks’ Whalen was used in the 100 Free. That leaves Winhawk Jr. Louie LaPorta and Winhawk So Avery Prondzinski to rise to the occasion and fend off the Austin backstrokers.
The 100 Breast could very likely be a 1-2 finish for Winhawk Sr. Santino LaPorta and 8th Gr Cal Dretske if they swim up to their potential.
The 400 Free Relay should be owned by the Winhawks, which is good as the meet may very well come down to the wire.
