The Rhinelander Swim Club competed in the Flambeau Area Swim Team (FAST) Pentathlon invite Saturday, Nov. 12 in Ladysmith. In this meet, each athlete competed in all four strokes, along with a 100-yard individual medley. The top performers in each age group brought home a trophy.

Ten-year-old Abi Winnicki had five first-place finishes which gave her the high-point award for her age group. Makenna Winnicki, 13, had four first-place finishes and a second to win the trophy for her age group.

Coach Marna Winnicki was on deck for this meet and said she was "happy to see all of the positive attitudes and efforts each swimmer had."

"Many swimmers were competing for the first time in some of the strokes," she said. "It gave us an idea of what we need to work on to make sure our athletes have legal swims for future meets."

Swimmers competing for their first meet ever with RSC were: Vance Eagleson, Abigale Johnson and Evelyn Simonsen.

Other Rhinelander Swim Club swimmers who placed in the top three in their age groups were:

• Devon Gaber, 14 - 3rd, 50 breaststroke;

• Emma Houg, 8 - 2nd, 25 butterfly;

• Lisa Kennedy, 13 - 2nd, 50 freestyle; 3rd, 50 backstroke, 100 IM;

• Zachariah King, 10 - 2nd, 25 backstroke; 3rd, 25 butterfly, 25 freestyle, 100 IM;

• Vivian Lamers, 8 -1st, 25 breaststroke, 25 butterfly and

• Olin Slette, 8 - 3rd place, 25 breaststroke, 25 butterfly, 100 IM.

Four swimmers had significant time drops in their events last Saturday. Gaber dropped 14 seconds in the 50 butterfly, Phoebe Moran dropped 15 seconds in the 100 IM, Barak Rappley dropped 14 seconds in the 25 backstroke and Kelsey Yunkers dropped 14 seconds in the 25 butterfly.
