Swim club claims CWSC divisional title

The Rhinelander Swim Club played host to six teams this past weekend in the Central Wisconsin Swim Conference's Eastern Divisional Swim Meet at the Heck Family Community Pool.

The meet was held over two days, with swimmers age 10 and under competing Saturday and the 11-and-over group competing on Sunday.

RSC won the divisional title for the third year in a row, winning the meet with 2,285 points.

Swimmers who placed in the top nine of an individual event or top six with a relay team move onto the CWSC Championship meet. Every RSC swimmer who participated last weekend qualified for the conference meet.

"(That) is your goal as a coach when the season starts," RSC coach Megan Cihla said. "These athletes worked hard this season and should be proud of what they accomplished. As their coach, I couldn't be prouder. We have a great bunch of kids this year, we had many kids come to cheer on their teammates in the different age groups on the days that they weren't even competing."

During last weekend's meet Samson Shinners, 10, posted a state qualifying cut in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2 minutes, 31.04 seconds. Shinners also had a qualifying time in the 50 free (32.29) during a time trial Jan. 14.

Makenna Winnicki, 15, broke the RSC record in the 1,000 freestyle with her time of 11: 43.71.

The CWSC championship meet takes place this Saturday and Sunday in Antigo.
