Bulldog girls swim season ends at regional

Bulldog girls swim season ends at regional

OTTUMWA — It was a resurgent season for the Ottumwa girls swimming program. After earning three meet wins this fall, the Bulldogs hoped to overcome a tough regional field at Johnston on Saturday and extend their season one more week.

Ottumwa’s had their hopes of swimming at next week’s state meet dashed by great efforts at Johnston and at the seven other regional sites around the state. The Bulldogs finished in a tie for seventh place at the nine-team regional meet on Saturday, joining Perry with 91 points.

Dowling Catholic and the host Dragons were the top two squads as each topped 400 points. The Maroons took the team regional title with 483 points, edging Johnston by 31.

Only two area competitors will be a part of the State Swimming and Diving Meet, which takes place on Friday and Saturday at the Marshalltown YMCA. Fairfield will have a regional qualifier competing each day as junior Jaci Bell will compete in Friday’s 5 p.m. state diving event.

Bell was the 32nd of 40 qualifiers last Thursday at Cedar Rapids Kennedy, scoring 320.45 points. On Saturday, sophomore Baylee Bowman joined her Trojan teammate by qualifying 17th in the 100-yard backstroke in a time of 1:02.43.

The Bulldogs had three top-ten finishes in relay races at the regional meet in Johnston. Both Ottumwa’s 200 medley (2:08.52) and free relay (1:56.97) teams finished sixth while the Bulldogs’ 400 freestyle relay foursome finished seventh in a time of 4:29.99.

“Our finishes in the relays were the highlight of the meet,” Ottumwa head girls swimming coach Stephanie Carroll said. “It definitely speaks to our increased depth.”

Freshman Carolina Carlson came was within 10 seconds of qualifying in two events, finishing just under four seconds out of the 50-yard freestyle in time of 29.44 seconds and 9.24 seconds out of the 100-yard freestyle. Junior Danielle Noe was the closest Bulldog to making it to state, finishing with a time of 28.27 seconds in the 50 freestyle to finish 2.82 seconds out to statewide cutoff time.

“As a team, we had a successful end to a successful season,” Carroll said. “We had swimmers step up all year and compete in events they don’t always compete in. Saturday was no exception.”
