Week after week, the Clarkston High School girls swim team copies the Wolves football team, staying undefeated. Likely the school would want the swimmers to rub their fortune off onto the football team, after the girls defeated the Lake Orion Dragons on Oct. 12.
The 99-87 victory makes the Wolves 7-0.
The team elevated its play a bit, Coach Kenwyn Chock said, because the meet marked ‘Senior Recognition Night,? prior to the meet.
The Wolves got off to the right stroke in the first event after winning the 200-yard medley relay by more than two seconds over the nearest Lake Orion squad at 1:56.34. The 200-yard freestyle followed with Kaitlyn Hassett finishing first at 2:02.27, a time qualifying her for the state tournament in that event.
Diver Danielle Benway won the one-meter diving competition, scoring 203.45 over Lake Orion’s Jenna Dorcy, a challenger she lost to at the Oakland Activities Association meet on Oct. 7 by one point.
The team hopes to qualify two more of its 200 and 400-yard freestyle relay teams to qualify at the next meet, Oct. 19 at Rochester for the final meet of the season.
If the Wolves win the meet, this would be the team’s second consecutive unbeaten season.
