Twice more, the Skaneateles girls swim team would take the pool before getting ready for this week’s Section III championships at Nottingham High School. First, the Lakers met Oswego last Monday night and proved quite competitive, even though it took a 94-87 loss to the Buccaneers. Skaneateles won three consecutive races in the middle of the meet. Holly Ross needed 1:13.43 to seize first place in the 100 butterfly, while Nikki Cole took the 100 freestyle in 59.33 seconds. Rachael DeWitt had a strong time of 5:45.48 in the 500 freestyle – this after edging Oswego’s Mayra Lopez, 2:09.31 to 2:10.05, in the 200 freestyle. Other than that, the Lakers won once more, in the 400 freestyle relay, where DeWitt, Cole, Amanda Shoenfelt and Sarah Sawyer combined for a top time of 4:06.78. The Lakers would go to Henninger High School’s pool on Wednesday night and get back into winning form, beating the Manlius-Pebble Hill Trojans 102-84. DeWitt again came up with a pair of titles, claiming the 200 individual medley in 2:29.33 and adding a first in the 100 backstroke in 1:08.77. DeWitt also joined Sawyer, Shoenfelt and Cole in posting a top time of 4:12.49 in the 400 freestyle relay. Shoenfelt tied MPH’s Phoebe Patrician in the 100 freestyle, both of them finshing in 1:02.10, while MPH’s Carly Bright won both the 500 freestyle (6:07.45) and 200 freestyle (2:14.29) on this night. Now the Lakers, who went 6-3 in the regular season (4-2 within the Onondaga High School League), go to Nottingham for the sectional meet, where it won the Class C championship a season ago.
