Rhinelander Swim Club took first place in the Central WI Eastern Divisional Swim meet this past weekend in Phillips.

The meet was held over two days with the 10 and under group swimming Saturday and the 11 and over group swimming Sunday.

The top nine finishers in individual events and the top six relay teams qualified to swim in the Central Wisconsin Conference Championship meet this weekend in Rice Lake. Every swimmer who participated in the divisional meet qualified for the conference championships in at least one event.

"I couldn't be more proud of this group of RSC athletes," coach Megan Cihla said. "This was the biggest meet many of these kids have ever competed in and they exceeded all expectations. Many kids faced the challenge of swimming against older kids, either in open events or from moving up in age groups.

"Ella Cordy and Maddie Ewan were just two of the swimmers who faced this challenge. Although a little skeptical, these girls stepped up and did an incredible job with significant time drops. I'm excited to see what these girls, along with the rest of RSC, can do at Championships and in the seasons to come."

Makenna Winnicki, 14, set a new RSC record in the 500-yard freestyle. Her time of 5 minutes, 42.47 seconds took down the previous record which stood for 25 years. Jack Antonuk broke his own club record in the 100 butterfly with a new time of 1:08.74.
