Freshman Jessica Extine picked up four blue ribbons to lead Yorktown to a 123-63 victory over Anderson Highland Tuesday night. Her performance was especially sweet because Extine did it in front of her grandparents, who were in town to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Extine won the 100-yard butterfly (1:04.76) and 100-yard breaststroke (1:17.87) and was part of the victorious 200-yard medley relay team (2:00.08) and 200-yard freestyle relay team (1:50.30). Extine's anchor split for the freestyle relay was an impressive 25.19.
Tiger sophomore Larah Beaver matched Extine's four first place finishes against the Scots. Beaver captured the 100-yard freestyle (57.32) and the 100-yard backstroke (1:02.11), and led off for both the medley relay team and the champion 400-yard freestyle relay team (4:18.29).
Junior Gabby LaVoie and freshman Kersea Gable were Yorktown's other multiple event winners. LaVoie won the closest and most exciting race of the night, outtouching YHS freshman Caroline Grasso in a razor thin 50-yard freestyle (28.07 to 28.22). LaVoie was also a member of both freestyle relay teams. Gable helped both the medley relay and 400-yard freestyle relay take gold.
Senior Heather Elston and sophomore Sam Mahon also picked up firsts. Elston competed in the medley relay, and Mahon took top honors in the 1-meter diving competition.
The 27th ranked Tigers get a well deserved day off on Thanksgiving, return to the practice pool Friday, then take on #11 Westfield (and defending state champion Kait Flederbach) in a dual meet Saturday morning.
GO TIGERS!
