This is my blog that follows swimming & diving in Winona MN and those Winonans that have left to swim elsewhere. Occasionally I will post items of info related to swimming & diving in general.

Biggest pack of Swimming Winhawks in 10 years headed to the Big Swim.

The Winona Winhawks are headed back to the State Championships as a group for the first time in 3 years and the most bodies in 10. They will be competing in the 200 Medley Relay, 50 Freestyle, 100 Freestyle and 200 Freestyle Relay. 

The Medley Relay of Senior Co-Captain Ryan Whalen swimming Back, Sr. Santio LaPorta at Breaststroke, Butterflyer 8th Gr. Roger Brosnahan and anchor at Freestyle Jr. Louie LaPorta will be the first Medley relay at state for the Winhawks in 4 years. Swimming in the 50 Freestyle and 100 Freestyle for the second year in a row will be Sr. Co-Captain Ryan Whalen. Wrapping up their participation will be the 200 Freestyle Relay of Jr. Louie LaPorta, Sr. Jonathan Birdsall, Sr. Ryan Whalen and 8th Grader Roger Brosnahan.


Recent Winhawk History at State:

The 2009 Championships saw then Jr. Ryan Whalen appearing in the 50 & 100 Freestyles and Travis Bernardy in the 100 Breastroke.

Back in 2008 Winhawk standout Matt Papenfuss was there all alone, competing in the 100 & 200 Freestyle.

Not since 2007 has any Winhawk relay advanced to State. The group of then 9th grader Ryan Whalen, Travis Bernardy, now U of MN Gopher swimmer Matt Papenfuss and Mike Johnson qualified in the 200 Medley Relay. They made it to finals and placed 16th. Matt Papenfuss also swam the 100 & 200 Freestyle.

In 2006, the 200 Medley Relay also qualified. Then 8th Grader Ryan Whalen joined by now SMU Cardinal Swimmer John Fox, now Gopher Matt Papenfuss and Mike Engen. They placed 22nd in the Friday Prelims. Matt Papenfuss swam the 200 Freestyle in prelims and John Fox finished 10th in the 100 Breaststroke.

There appears to be a drought in the early 2000’s. While records are incomplete, it appears the next prior appearance was in the year 2000. The 200 Free Relay of Matt Keane, Chris Mayer, Chris Hanke, Jason Schneider, was there as well as the 400 Free Relay of Matt Keane, Chris Mayer, Troy Altobell, and Jason Schneider. Additionally Jason Schneider swam the 200 Freestyle and the 100 Freestyle.

It is great to see a resurgence in the Winhawk presence at the Big Swim.

Winhawks rise to the occasion at Sections

Check off the second to the last step to State.

What an amazing effort by the Winhawk swimmers. After some great swims at the Big 9 Conference meet, I was wondering how they would react to their taper. Coach Amy and Asst Coach Steve really managed the boys' tapers well from all appearances. Now, after an after noon of huge time drops, they have to repeat or better them in the Finals on Saturday.


I went to the Rochester Rec Center early Thursday to watch the diving competition. There were only 13 divers for Sections. The repeats from Big 9, JM – 3, Winona -3, Owatonna – 3, Roch Century & Mayo have none. Now add in Northfield – 2, and Farmington – 2, Hastings has none. The low numbers indicate a sad statement for the state of diving.

The Winona divers started slow. Winhawk Jr. Stan Petkov was 6th in the rotation and was buoyed by his Forward 1 ½ ss Pike for 25.30 pts, and a Reverse 2 ss Tuck for 30.45 pts to finish prelims in 9th place. Winhawk So. Dan Karnick was 8th in the rotation. He used his Forward 1 ss 1 Twist for 23.10 pts to place 12th in the prelims. Winhawk diver Jr Justin Bublitz also started slow but rallied with a Back 2 ss Tuck for 29.79 pts and a Reverse 2 ss Tuck for 34.5 pts to finish Prelims in 6th. Moving on to Semifinals, Stan scores three solid dives and moves up into 8th place. Dan also steadies himself and moves up two spots to 10th. Justin steps up against some really stiff competition atthe stop of the standings moving up to 5th as they move on to finals on Saturday.

With only 13 divers (sadly) competing, diving was over in no time. With a 3 hour wait I decided to return to Winona to take care of some tasks rather than stick around for swimming. Hindsight is always 20/20 and this is another of those cases. I am kicking myself for not staying to watch the action.

The Winhawks turned a questionable afternoon into a spectacular one logging some great swims and setting themselves up for a good finish Saturday afternoon.

The 200 Medley Relay has been a strong suit for the Winhawks all year and here at Sections the Winhawks found themselves seeded 2nd behind Northfield. They finish in that same spot dropping a full second on their seed.

The 200 Freestyle saw Sr Co-Captain Josh Danzinger seeded 16th and So.Joey Kleinow seeded 20th .So Avery Prondzinski and Jr. Eric Mueller were in the initial heat. Both guys make phenomenal drops in personal bests as Eric drops 16 seconds and Avery 11 seconds to set the tone! So. Joey Kleinow drops 3 seconds on his season best and Josh drops 6 seconds ad moves up 6 spots to qualify 11th for Saturday finals.

The 200 IM saw Sr. Matt Bagshaw not only record his sixth straight personal best time, this one was a doozey. The first five drops totaled 5 seconds. Matt’s Sections swim shaved off 8 seconds itself, an outstanding effort. Swimming in the next heat, 8th Grader Cal Dretske was inspired and drops 6 ½ seconds on his personal best.

The 50 Free, an event where improvement is usually measured in hundredths, Jr. Louie LaPorta improves his personal best by a over half a second. Sr. Jonathan Birdsall slashes almost 2 seconds off his personal best and moves up from the 22nd seed to 11th and is returning for Saturday’s Consolation Final. 8th grader Roger Brosnahan seeded 10th drops a half second and improves his place to 8th and a spot in the Saturday Championship Heat. Sr. Co-Captain Ryan Whalen seeded first in the event finishes near his seed tiem to swim 2nd seed in Saturdays Championship Heat.

The 100 Butterfly kept the streak of great drops alive. All season the Fly has been the Matt & Roger show for the Winhawks. Matt seeded 15th drops 4 seconds off his former best and gets the 11th seed in the Consolation Final. 8th Gr. Roger Brosnahan shaves off a second to drop below a minute and make the 9th seed for Saturday’s swimming.

The 100 Freestyle sees both Joey K. and Alex Kline drop a second on their bests and Gio Borsari drops 3 seconds. Ryan W. starts and finishes as the 2nd seed for Saturday Finals.

The 500 Freestyle sees 8th Gr. Alex Vaslow improve on his Big 9 swim and Sr. Co-Captain Josh Danzinger shaves 11 seconds off his season low placing him in the Consolation final on Saturday.

The 200 Freestyle relay is the race I am most upset about missing. Seeded 6th, the team of Louie L., Jonathon B., Ryan W., Roger B. swim a 1:31.76 to take the TOP SEED going into Saturday Final. Everyone dropped time, Jonathon’s 1 ½ seconds and Roger’s 1.2 seconds were key with Louie and Ryan contributing 0.5 & 0.4 seconds respectively.

The 100 Backstroke had personal bests across the board. Alex K. and Gio B. both improved and Avery P. shaves off over two seconds to move up the seedings and is swimming in Saturday’s Consolation Final.

The 100 Breastroke saw the most swimmers advance to Saturday. Mic Borsari improved his best by 4 ½ seconds. Jonathan Birsdsall improved on his 18th seed shaving off 4 seconds and making Saturday’s Consolation Final. Both Santino LaPorta and Cal Dretske maintained their seeds and will swim in Saturday’s Consolation Final as well.

The 400 Freestyle Relay of Avery P., Joey K., Louie L., Josh D. at 3:47.06 started and finished in the same place swimming 8th seed in Saturday’s Consolation Final.

Section 1AA Finals are Saturday at the Rec Center at 1:30PM.

Winhawks head to Section1AA Championships with an eye on State.

So the time has come. Getting to the pinnacle in high school swimming is three step process. The first step is the longest. Three months of two-a-day workouts, eight dual meets, three invitationals and a conference championships. Step two is the Section 1AA Swimming & Diving Preliminaries. You have to prepare yourself to swim fast enough to get to the Finals. Step three is two days later at the Section 1AA Finals itself. Swimming & Diving is a quirky sport, where the dual meet and invite records and times mean absolutely nothing with regards to State meet advancement. While definite building blocks, they are all, workouts and meets alike, an investment in qualifying for the trip to the U of M Aquatic Center to take on the best in the state.


There are two ways to advance to the State meet. Finish first or second in the Section Swimming Finals or finish a top four place in Section Diving Finals. You can also advance to State if you swim a qualifying standard time during Finals of the Section meet. Qualifying standards can be found at: http://www.mshsl.org/mshsl/sports/SW2009-10Standards.pdf?ne=2

There is a bit of a different line-up between Big 9 and Sections. Gone are the Mankatos (East & West), Albert Lea, Faribault and Austin. Included from the north are Farmington, Hastings, and Northfield.

Section 1AA Line-up
Farmington High School
Hastings High School
Northfield High School
Owatonna High School
Rochester Century High School
Rochester Mayo High School
Coop: 376 "Rochester John Marshall"
Rochester John Marshall (HOST)
Rochester Lourdes High School
Coop: 490 "Winona Winhawks"
Cotter High School
Winona High School (HOST)

Right now, the 200 Medley Relay is looking good to make it to State. The team of Sr. Co-Captain Ryan Whalen, Sr. Santino LaPorta, 8th Grader Roger Brosnahan and Jr. Louis LaPorta swam a 1:44.93 placing 2nd only 3 10ths out of first at the Big 9 meet. They were 3 seconds ahead of Rochester Century and winner Mankato is elsewhere for Sections. The boys are also just 2 seconds off the State Qualifying time of 1:42.65.

Look for Ryan Whalen to repeat his performance of last year and earn himself a place at the State meet in both the 50 &100 Freestyle.

Winhawk Diver Justin Bublitz has a great opportunity to earn his first trip to State. Finishing 4th at Big 9, a solid performance may punch his ticket to the State Championships.

The 200 Free Relay has an outside chance with 4+ seconds needing to be trimmed to meet the State qualifying time.

Winona Winfins score well at State Championships

Last Sunday, the Winona Winfins traveled to the University of MN Natatorium to compete in the State YMCA Swimming Championships.


The Winfins wrapped up the day in 4th place of the 15 teams attending just a hair shy of 3rd place.

There were a number of great swims and records set. Winona has always made a strong showing at the YMCA Championships. Of the 112 events across the boys & girls age groups, Winona currently holds 12 records or over 10% of the records, until this year. The 2010 Winfins padded that lead.

Swims of Note:

Josh Danzinger had as good a day as you could possibly have in scoring a swimming trifecta. He swam 3 events, he won 3 events and he set a new state record in 3 events! CONGRATULATIONS JOSH!

MacKenzie Brosnahan had 3 wins on the day including setting a new State record in the 18& Under Girl’s 100 Freestyle eclipsing Abbey Staats’ record. She adds that honor to the 1 individual and 1 relay State record she already has her name on. Congratulations MacKenzie.

Alexandra Zuelke had 3 wins on the day in the 14& Under 50 Freestyle, 14& Under 100 Freestyle and 14& Under 100 Breaststroke. Way to go Alexandra!

Winfins Morgan Drazkowski and Thea May score a 1-2 in the Girls’’ 8 & Under 25 yard freestyle!

Raizl Campbell drops 20 seconds off her seed time in the grueling 400 IM.

Hodd Gorman & Kyle Schneider, go 1 – 2 in the Boys 14&U 200 Yard IM

Thea May & Moriah Lemire go 1 – 2 in the Girls 8&U 25 Yard Back

Morgan Whyte drops 17 seconds on her 500 Freestyle to take 2nd place

Winhawks continue to improve right through Big 9 takign 5th.

Last Saturday the Winona Winhawks went to Albert Lea to compete in the Big 9 Championships. If you are a Winona Daily News reader, that and the fact they got 5th place is about all you get to know.


If you were fortunate enough to go watch or are a reader of this blog, then you get to know much more about the great contest that took place. Winona had some excellent swims and got to flex their muscle a little bit.

Their 5th place finish meant they reasserted their wins over Albert Lea and Rochester John Marshall. They found out where they stood against Austin, the meet that weather cancelled and was not made up. They finished ahead of Austin but not by much. It would have been a GREAT dual meet to watch, too bad it did not happen. The Winhawks got some revenge, finishing ahead of Owatonna after dropping the dual meet to the Huskies. As the two will meet each other again at the Section 1AA Championships, they get one more shot at bragging rights.

The 200 Free Relay got things off to a roaring start. The Winhawk relay of Sr. Co-Captain Ryan Whalen, Sr. Santino LaPorta, 8t hGr. Roger Brosnahan, and Jr. Louie LaPorta bettered their 3rd seed with a 2+ second drop. Whalen jumped out to a big lead with his lead-off backstroke. Santino swam solid handing the lead to Brosnahan. The rookie 8th grader held his ground against a SR flyer leaving Louie LaPorta to battle the star sprinter from Mankato West. Louie held him off until the end and was just touched out to score the Winhawks an exciting 2nd place finish.

The 200 Freestyle has provided the Winhawks a big hurdle this season as it is one of the most hotly contested races in the conference and Big 9 did not disappoint. A pool record was set in the final heat by the swimmer from Century. Winhawk Sr. Co-Captain Josh Danzinger swam his seed time and So. Joey Kleinow had a full 2 second drop moving himself up 5 spots in the final standings. Season best times were posted by the rest of eth Winhawks, 8th Gr. Alex Vaslow (8 seconds), Avery Prondzinski and Gio Borsari.

The 200 IM was another tough race for the Winhawks all season with tough competition every week. Drivng that point home, the 2nd seed won with a new pool record with 2nd place ALSO breaking the former pool record. Top Winhawk seed 8th Gr. Cal Dretske swam tough staying in that spot. Sr. Matt Bagshaw swam his 5th consecutive season best.

The 50 Freestyle is one of those exacting races where even small factors have a major impact. Winhawk Sr. Co-captain Ryan Whalen won with a half a second of breathing room. 8th grader Roger Brosnahan lopped off 0.3 seconds on his season best improving on his 12th seed to finish 8th. Also setting a season best Jr. Louie LaPorta moved up on his seed as did Sr. Jonathan Birdsall.

The One Meter Diving at Big 9 is an 11 dive event vs the 6 they throw in dual meets. There is typically only one maybe two 11 dive meets prior to Big 9 so this is really a test for the entire field. With 23 divers participating a single round takes awhile. Diving can be 40% physical and 60% mental so it is a long time between dives to stay mentally sharp and focused while staying loose for your next dive. Winhawk divers Jr. Justin Bublitz, Jr. Stan Petkov and So. Dan Karnick arose VERY early Saturday AM to get to Albert Lea for warm-ups. The Preliminary and semifinal rounds take place prior to any swimmers arriving so as to not unnecessarily add time to the meet. Their were 23 divers to start so the semifinals whittled the field down to 16 divers for finals. All three Winhawk divers, made the cut. Justin was in 4th, Stan was in 15th and Dan was in 16th. Diving is one of those sports where you know little until the end. Variables at play include their routines or dive order. Divers tend to have favorite “honey dives” they stick at certain spots. Dives have degrees of difficulty so scores and places between divers can vary wildly based on what order they do their dives in. Some divers “throw” their best dives eaarly on their list to improve their odds of making the finals. Others look to make Finals on the consistancy of their early dives and plan to score major points and psycologically effect their competition in Finals. The latter is the strategy employed by the Winhawk contingent. Justin saved for Finals a Forward 1 ½ SS with 1 Twist, Free position a 2.2 degree of difficulty (DD), a Forward 1 ½ ss pike position and a Forward 2 ½ ss in pike position, DD 2.6. Dan threw an Inward 1 ½ ss Tuck position, a Forward 2 ss in Tuck position and a Forward 1 ½ ss 1 Twist in Free position, all 2.2 in DD. Stan finished with a Reverse 2 somersaults in tuck position, 2.3 DD. A Forward 1 ½ ss pike and a Forward 2 ½ ss Tuck with a 2.4 DD. In the end, Justin was able to battle the leaders to maintain his 4th place. Stan was able to score well and move up 3 spots for a 12th place finish. Dan held his ground in 16th. The winning diver from John Marshall kept the day’s theme alive setting a pool record.

The 100 Butterfly has been a two Winhawk show all season long. A grueling 100 yds, Sr. Matt Bagshaw has been the team workhorse here and 8th Gr Roger Brosnahan joined him part way into the season. Matt swam steady maintaining his seeding and Roger picked it up a bit moving up one to finish a solid 7th.

The 100 Free is the other speed event and it did not disappoint. Every Winhawk entered swam his best 100 Freestyle event of the season. Both Alex Kine and Gio Borsari had awesome swims going side by side driving each other to go sub one minute and moving up 10 places in the standings. The next heat saw So. Joey Kleinow drop a half second to move up five spots in the standings. Lastly Sr. Co-Captain Ryan Whalen seeded 1st swam a 48.69 to win just 9 1/100ths off the pool record.

The 500 Freestyle had 8th Grader Alex Vaslow swimming his seed and Sr. Co-Captain Josh Danzinger moving up a spot to finish in the top 8.

The 200 Free Relay had Winhawks L. LaPorta, Birdsall, Whalen and Brosnahan move up one spot to finish 5th with their fastest of the year.

The 100 Backstroke is a building event for the Winhawks wit hall competitors being underclassmen. All showed great improvement, Jr. Gio Borsari dropped over 3 seconds to move up 4 spots. So Avery Prondzinski seeded 16th swam his best of the season as well moving up to 13th.

The 100 Breaststroke saw 9th Gr Mic Borsari improve yet again picking up 3 spots from his seed. Sr. Jonathan Birdsall swam his best of the season to score his seed and 8th Gr Cal Dretske swam to a 12th place finish.

The 400 Free Relay, not a strong suit for the Winhawks, still saw improvement. Seeded 9th the Winhawk team of Prondzinski, Kleinow, L. LaPorta, and Danzinger move up a spot to 8th.

Congratulations Winhawks on a great Big 9!

Big 9 Weekend for the Winhawks

Saturday the Winona Winhawks travel to Albert Lea to compete in the Big 9 Conference Championships. Here are the standings as of this past week:


Big Nine Standings
Rochester Century          7-1-0
Mankato East/Loyola     7-1-0
Owatonna                       6-2-0
Mankato West                5-3-0
Rochester Mayo             3-6-0
Faribault                         3-6-0
Austin                             3-5-0
Winona Winhawks         3-2-0
Rochester John Marshall 1-7-0
Albert Lea                       0-8-0

You never really know how the teams will fare for Big 9. The Conference Champion title carries nothing more than bragging rights or chest beating perhaps (insert Tarzan yell here). Hey speaking of, maybe that is why swimming lacks some notoriety or rings a bell with younger kids these days. I grew up watching TV on Saturdays with Tarzan, Johnny Weissmuller swimming up and down rivers, wrestling alligators and pulling native warriors out of canoes. He even would high dive off of cliffs and tall trees into the rivers. Swimming and diving was cool. I even learned to “Tarzan swim” when I received my lifeguard training. That was what they called it then when you swam with your head up watching where the drowning victim was last seen. Then there was Sea Hunt with Lloyd Bridges, he was scuba diving, but swimming none the less. No, there are no idols on screen or set that swim well. They go over waterfalls, I have seen Michael Douglas, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, and even Harrison Ford makes the big ride. But they never show the star (or their stunt doubles) swimming, just shots of them climbing out of the river somewhere downstream. Yes, I believe we need more swimming actors and actresses. Some that are capable of doing a front crawl at speed and swimming lengths underwater, Anyway, I digress.

Big 9 doesn’t determine anything regarding Sections and State. It is a timed final event, so you get one shot at getting a top or high finish. The coaches have some swimmers taper for Big 9, others for Sections and fewer yet for State. So it is hard to predict how the teams will fare at Big 9, but it will be fun to watch.

Here is the roster for the Winona Winhawk boys team.

Name                  Grade              Event

Alex Vaslow         8                   Freestyle Distance
Avery Prondzinski 10               Backstroke

YMCA Winfins Head to State

The Winona YMCA Winfins are heading to the YMCA State Meet this weekend at the University of Minnesota. The team is representing Winona well. By my calculations, of the 112 events, on average a Winona swimmer has the 3rd fastest seed time or better in 36 of the 112 events (32.1%). They have one of the two fastest seed times in 21% of the events and they hold THE fastest seed time in 17% of the events (19 of the 112 events). Considering the size of the meet, number of clubs and number of swimmers attending, that is impressive. An obvious gap is the Boys 10 – 12 age group where Winona is definitely thin.


I’ll post results when I receive them, but here are Winona’s entries this weekend. Good luck Winfins!
