Undefeated swimmers head to league meet

Clarkston’s girls swim team pulled off an impressive feat on Oct. 19. The girls finished their second straight undefeated season, 8-0, after defeating the Rochester Falcons 121-65 on the road.
‘They got to swim their off events, different events they like and they swam well. In this division, this is the only meet (we could change), it’s pretty tough,? said Wolves Coach Kenwyn Chock.
The Wolves captured all but two events of the night. They won the first event, the 200-yard medley relay with the group of Kaitlyn Hassett, Molli Simpson, and both Alyssa and Julia Vela, who scored a time of 2:03.61.
Amanda Hassett (2:05.55), Michelle Vandervoord (2:13.80) and Amber Fullmer (2:15.71) finished first, second and third respectively in the 200-yard freestyle that followed.
Alyssa Vela took the 200-yard individual medley with 2:21.87 and was part of the 400-yard freestyle relay team with both Amanda and Kaitlyn Hassett, and Christine Seiple. They were victorious with a time of 3:56.00 in the final event.
Simpson took the 100-yard backstroke with 1:06.51 and Julia Vela took the 100-yard butterfly with 1:07.11.
Clarkston took first place in the Oakland Activities Association division II with the victory, while Rochester Hills Stoney Creek, Lake Orion and Farmington Hills Harrison are all tied for second place at 6-2.
Chock said the three-way tie of two-loss teams is another token to the difficult nature of the division.
‘That shows you how everyone knocks everybody off,? Chock added.
Next on deck for the Wolves are the OAA league playoffs Nov. 1-3 at Lake Orion High School. The state finals will be on Nov. 17-18 at Oakland University.
