Chick and Malone win at district meet

With only six swimmers competing at Southwest Ohio Coaches Classic on Saturday, Yellow Springs had a strong showing, placing 12th out of 44 teams. Yellow Springs juniors Erika Chick and Elizabeth Malone led the home team against qualifying swimmers from Dayton and Cincinnati.

In the finals, Chick took first in the 200-meter butterfly and second in the 200-meter freestyle, after winning the preliminary for that event by more than three seconds. Malone came in second in the finals of the 100-yard butterfly with a personal best time of 58:18 after winning the preliminary for the event.

Other Bulldogs posting personal bests were Rachel Meyer in the 500-meter free, Zoey McKinley for the 100-meter breast stroke, and the lone Bulldog boys swimmer Taylor Ford in the 50-and 100-meter freestyle.

Against Dayton Christian the Lady Bulldogs were only down three at the half, but were outscored 30–12 in the final half of play, in part due to Dayton Christian’s 23 points at the free throw line.
