Second-place finishers were Sharisa Hillstead (200-yd. IM), Jesse Thompson (200-yd. IM), Brittany Forrest (50-yd. freestyle), and the 200-yd. freestyle relay.

Keely Bohm finished in third place in the 100-yd. backstroke.

"(The meet was) much closer than anticipated," said head coach Casey Nye. "From the opening event (200 Medley Relay) we stole momentum and built upon it. This was the first meet where we swam fast as a team. We've had good meets throughout the year, but this just shows what to anticipate at sectionals," added Nye.

"Callie 'Go' Wild is having the season of her life," Nye said. "Sharisa Hillstead also is coming on strong at the right time. Jesse Thompson, Brittany Forrest and Carlee Jo Liss are all members of two key relays for us and are swimming exceptionally right now. Callie, Sharisa and Jesse are all among a group that has been training nonstop and their taper will be the test of all the work that they have put in this far," said Nye.
