The WInhawks were victorious in Austin on Tuesday night. I will re-cap that meet when I get results, in the mean time, I will preview the meet for Thursday night.
The Big 9 Conference is TOUGH, so tough there are actually 10 teams rather than 9. Besides that most of those teams have multiple state qualifiers, and there are some national level swimmers, Olympic Trials swimmers and even some international experience.
So when you have a Big 9 win and can possibly pair it with another Big 9 win, you want it bad. So goes the course for BOTH Winona and Owatonna on Thursday. Both victorious Tuesday, both wanting to make it two in a row. But in the end, there can be only one with consecutive victories.
Last year, the Winhawks were the victors 93 – 88 and essentially have the same team back. Owatonna was hit harder by graduation, but is filling in nicely. These teams finished side by side last year in the Big 9 meet results and are projected to do the same this year. The end result is what appears to be a GREAT Big 9 match-up that should have the Winona SHS Pool rocking!
For Owatonna, defending Big Nine Conference diving champion Kalley Schwab is back, along with All-conference sophomore sprinter Matalin Shaver. Include senior Madison Eggermont and junior Ana Moe, both captains along with Schwab. After them the Huskies have just nine combined juniors and seniors.
