IHSA Sectional Results

Congratulations to all the girls that did such an awesome job at Sectionals.
According to seed times, Marian was supposed to finish in 7th place.
We were supposed to finish:
09 points behind Tinley Park
38 points behind L-Way North
80 points behind Andrew

We finished ahead of Tinley Park by over 20 points, only 3 points behind North, and 20 points behind Andrew.
This was the most points any of Coach Scanlon's teams have ever made up in a Sectional

The meet began with a Medley Relay which dropped 5+ seconds from their seed time, and over 8 seconds from their actual time.
The team followed that with lifetime best swims in almost every event of the day.
Our Butterflyers dropped 3 and 5 seconds
The 200 Free Relay dropped over 4 seconds from their best time
Our Breaststrokers moved up from 14th and 15th place seedings to finish 8th and 9th.
Our top individual finisher was Katelyn Kresal who finished in the top 4 of both her individual events and only about 1.5 seconds off the state cut in both of them.
The meets was capped off by a 2nd place finish in the 400 Free Relay, which dropped 7 seconds on their seed time to defeat L-Way North.
It was a very memorable day for Marian Catholic Swimming and hopefully the start of even better things to come.
Also a congratulations to our fellow Catholic League members - Rosary as they celebrate their 3rd State Championship in a row.
