Scout Swimmers Look Deep Again

Last Year’s Record:              The Scouts were 7-1 in dual meet competition last year and 6-0 in the North Suburban Conference. 

Last Year’s Highlights:         Lake Forest won both the league and Sectional titles before grabbing a 10th place finish at the State Meet. 

Season Opener:                   The Scouts open their season at 1:30 p.m. Saturday when they host their own invitational. 

Top Returning Scouts:         Caitlin Lanigan, Annie McArdle, Amanda Gotschalk, Margaret Carney and Eleanor Meeks. 

Leading Newcomers:            Reilly Lanigan and Elise Vondra. 

Season Outlook:                    Coach Carolyn Grevers expects Caitlin Lanigan to swim backstroke while McArdle and Gotschalk will swim breaststroke. Carney is expected to participate in the butterfly while Meeks will race freestyle sprints. Vondra will be swimming distance freestyle and butterfly. Reilly Lanigan is very versatile and will be placed where she can best help the team.                       

“The strength is our depth and competitive internal racing,” Grevers said. “As a team, the girls challenge each other daily and it brings the best out of them. The challenge we have is to fill in the big shoes our seniors of last year left. We are competitive.”
