DCST’s swam well at their first meet after the holiday break in finishing second at the David Wolf Invitational. DCST with 49 swimmers scored 1,432 to finish behind only the host team, Belvidere, who scored 1,863.5 points had 88 swimmers entered in the meet.
DCST had 59 personal best times. The following DCST swimmers were a perfect 3 for 3 on personal best times in individual events: Melissa Cherry, Grace Flemming, Jensen Keck, Brianna Kramer and Frank Rosas.
After each meet, the coaching staff picks two swimmers, one girl and one boy, as the “Big Dogs" of the meet. Big Dogs are not only selected on their performance in the meet, but the coaches also take into consideration the swimmer’s practice attendance, work ethic, team spirit and sportsmanship. For this meet, Brianna Kramer, age 12, and Garret Sims, age 7, were selected as Big Dogs of the meet.
DCST will have a chance to avenge its second place finish this Saturday when DCST swims against Belvidere, Ottawa and Illinois Valley in a quadrangular meet at a neutral site (Illinois Valley) for both DCST and Belvidere.
