First in two
AYERSVILLE, Ohio — Teigen Fortkamp had yet another record-breaking meet. It resulted in a sectional championship.
Fortkamp won the 100-yard backstroke sectional title in a meet-record time and also teamed with Audra Bubp, Joelle Kaup and Paige Guggenbiller to take the championship in the 200 freestyle relay in the sectional meet at Ayersville. Those efforts led the way as Sage Wendel, Bubp, Kaup and Fortkamp earned individual district berths for the Fort Recovery High School swim teams and the Indians also advanced three relays.
Those with the top 32 individual times and top 24 relay times across all six sectional meets in the Northwest District move on to the district meet Friday at Bowling Green State University. (There is no team scoring at the sectional level.)
Fortkamp’s first-place time of 58.98 seconds in the 100 backstroke broke her own school record (59.93) as well as the sectional record of 59.69. She dominated the race as runner-up Jenna Wenger of Upper Sandusky finished in 1 minute, 1.71 seconds.
She was also the runner-up in the 50 freestyle, just 0.14 seconds behind champion Nora Kunsman of Bryan in 24.64.
Fort Recovery was one of two teams to break the 1:45 mark in the 200 freestyle relay. Bubp, Kaup, Guggenbiller and Fortkamp won the sectional title by 0.48 seconds over Ottawa-Glandorf’s Marissa Beckett, Olivia Fenbert, Taylor Knott and Morgan Maag with a time of 1:44.47.
The same groups of Indians and Titans also went head-to-head in the 200 medley relay, with Fortkamp, Bubp, Kaup and Guggenbiller posting a time of 1:54.91 to finish second by 0.28 seconds.
Sage Wendel turned in a runner-up result for the FRHS boys team, placing second in 1:01.29 behind Napoleon’s Nichols Flowers in the 100 backstroke. He was also fifth in the 200 individual medley in 2:17.53.
Bubp qualified for the district meet in the 100 breaststroke with a third-place sectional finish in 1:10.92. Kaup was fourth in the sectional at 50 freestyle at 26.37 to earn her district berth.
Allison Knapke, Bubp, Kaup and Guggenbiller also earned a district berth in the 400 freestyle relay, finishing seventh in the sectional in 4:07.1.
