Thursday night in Hartford's natatorium was the first time I have covered a swim meet. I'm not totally oblivious to swimming. I swam club when I was in 5th and 6th grade for Express and my sister was on the high school swim team.
I've been to a couple of her meets, but last night Hartford and West Bend fans were pretty loud. That was a cool experience. The natatorium is small, can get very loud. I can't wait for the WLT Conference meet Feb. 6. Now that's going to be loud.
Hartford's Aiden Kohnhorst was by far the best in the pool. He won all four of his races. The 200-yard medley relay, 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly and 400-yard freestyle relay.
He was the anchor in the 400-yard freestyle relay. The team was second the entire race, until the anchor leg. Kohnhorst and Co. won by 3.09 seconds.
West Bend's 200-yard freestyle relay was pretty dominate too. Co-coaches Jim Sachse and Chris See said they have the potential to go to state. I see that potential, but Sachse said in the interview that they have to shave about 5 seconds of their time Thursday.
Five seconds is a lot. That's a little over 1 second per swimmer. I don't know if they can do it, but I am rooting for them.
