The Wildcat swimmers and divers collected seven firsts and eight seconds at home Tuesday, October 2 on the way to a 103-80 win over Fridley.

Freshman Brogan Lee gave the 'Cats their first win when she swam the 200 freestyle in 2:11.49. Classmate Heidi Willhite picked up the next win for the home team when she swam the 50 freestyle in 28.45. Sophomore Alex Thomsen continued her improvement by scoring 166.35 to win the diving.

Then, seniors Leah Secord and Andrea Olson took their turn as leaders. Secord won the 100 freestyle in 59.69 and Olson placed first in the 500 freestyle with a 5:53.30.

Willhite, Lee, Secord and Olson combined for two Wildcat relay wins. The foursome won the 200 freestyle in 1:54.19 and the 400 in 4:06.39.

In the remaining relay, the 200 medley, Laura Goossen, Sarah Kopp, Anna Stein and Rishawn Radziwill finished second. Kopp, Mallory Schneider, Hanna Lee and Leah Hathaway were second in the the 200 freestyle relay.

Other runners-up for CL were Secord (200 freestyle), Olson (200 individual medley), Lee (100 butterfly), Willhite (100 freestyle), Goossen (100 backstroke) and Kopp (100 breast stroke).

"We really swam well against Fridley," said Wildcat head coach Ed Wakefield. "I figured it was going to be a really close meet, but we pretty much ran away with it. We had many good swims, but going 1,2,3 in the 200 freestyle early in the meet really helped out.

"I am sure this is the first time we have had a winning record this far into the North Suburban Conference season. This win puts us at 3-2 with three meets to go. We have a real good chance of finishing the conference season at 500. This has not happened since joining the NSC," the coach added.

The Wildcats travel to St. Louis Park to swim against Benilde-St. Margaret's at 6:00 tonight (October 11). Saturday, October 13 CL competes in a True Team Meet at Monticello, beginning at 9 a.m.
