ALL streaks, by definition, come to an end

Rochester John Marshall comes to town maybe appreciating wins a little more than last year. They were 12-0 last year, Big 9 Champs AND Section 1AA Champs five times and ninth at Class AA State. After kicking off this year, they were riding a 54 straight dual meets into this September. That all came crashing down a month ago and they have now lost (shutter) TWO dual meets this season, ( Mayo and Mankato West). So maybe they have a more urgent sense about winning those that they think they can win, making them all the more vulnerable because the opposite is also a little more realistic in their minds.

Rest assured, they still have some great swimmers and put up some great swims. Seniors Taylor Bass, Anna Becker and Taylor Emery all qualified for the state meet a year ago and were all-conference. They are strong in the technical strokes but slightly, very slightly vulnerable in the sprints and diving.

The Winhawks are coming off of a GREAT Spartan Invitational and are feeling pretty good about themselves. Combining that with having pushed back hard against Faribault last week, they may just be ready to step up to the next level.
