Winning swimming

FORT RECOVERY — In every contested relay, the Eels came out on top.

Fort Recovery’s summer swim team swept the relays — except those they didn’t enter — on Tuesday night while also getting sweeps in the 8-and-younger girls and 11-12-year-old girls divisions as it scored 825 points to defeat Union City (298) and Randolph County (159).

In addition to the dominance in the medley and freestyle relays, the Eels used four swimmers to sweep the 8-and-younger girls events. Natalie Wenning (50 freestyle, 25 freestyle) and Rozlyn Diller (100 individual medley, 25 breaststroke) each won two events in the division. Hailey Wenning was first in the 25 butterfly and Rhianna Wuebker took the top spot in the 25 backstroke.

Makenna Huelskamp paced the other Fort Recovery sweep with her victories in the 11-12-year-old 50 butterfly, 50 breaststroke and 50 freestyle. Kendall Ranly earned wins in the 100 freestyle and 100 individual medley, and Livy Timmerman was first in the 50 backstroke.

Four boys won three events apiece for the Eels, with Maverick Huelskamp reaching the wall first in the 8-and-younger 25 butterfly, 25 breaststroke and 25 freestyle. Wyatt Gann took the top spot in the 9-10-year-old 50 freestyle, 25 backstroke and 25 freestyle, Will Faller was victorious in the 11-12-year-old 50 backstroke, 50 breaststroke and 50 freestyle, and Carson Fullenkamp won the 13-14-year-old 100 freestyle, 50 backstroke and 50 breaststroke.

Joining Huelskamp in earning three wins for the girls were Joelle Kaup in the 13-14-year-old 50 butterfly, 50 backstroke and 50 freestyle, and Teigen Fortkamp in the 15-and-older 50 backstroke, 100 individual medley and 50 freestyle.
