Girls State Swim Meet Results Friday, November 12th
Preliminary Round
Individual events for the State Girls Swim Meet held prelims on Friday evening at the YMCA in Marshalltown. The Carroll girls qualified seven events for state with three relays that will swim on Saturday along with three individual events that advanced through into the finals. Carroll was very close to qualifying all four of their individual events into the finals.
Emma Myers finished 17th in the prelims in the 200 IM with the top 16 qualifying. She was .28 behind Isabel Heller of Davenport Central for 16th place. She will be an alternate for the finals on Saturday and will compete if one of the other girls is unable too. Myers was very strong in the 100 Breaststroke and had the Tigers best finish in the prelims. She finished 7th in 1:05.41 and will race in the finals Saturday. Myers was .07 from finishing 6th in the prelims.
Jenna Currier was the other swimmer competing in the prelims on Friday. Currier qualified for the finals in both her events, taking 9th in the 100 Fly in 58.24. Currier will have a good shot at finishing top eight on Saturday with her qualifying time just off her best swim during the regular season. Currier was 12th in the 50 Free, also advancing to Saturday finals. Currier swam .36 faster Friday than her seed time and was only .12 from finishing 9th.
The finals get underway on Saturday at Noon. The 200 Medley Relay team of Sophia Polking, Emma Myers, Amelia Holt and Ashley Beagle will start the event for the Tigers. Jenna Currier will then compete in the 50 Free and 100 Fly which are back to back events. The 200 Free Relay team of Emma Myers, Hailey Burns, Ellie Beagle and Jenna Currier will follow the 500 Free. Emma Myers will be back in the pool shortly after the 200 Free Relay to compete in the 100 Breast before Ellie Beagle, Amelia Holt, Hailey Burns and Jenna Currier wrap up the meet in the 400 Free Relay.
