Swimmers Compete at Mankato Pentathlon
Oct. 14, 2002
The UWRF men’s and women’s swim teams participated in their
first competition of the season Saturday at Minnesota State-Mankato for
the Maverick Pentathlon.
The UWRF women took third with a combined time of 53:16.09. The Mavericks
won with a combined time of 49:46.05 followed by Wisconsin-Eau Claire
with a time of 51:08.89. Minnesota State-Moorhead also competed, but did
not record a team time. None of the men’s team times were recorded.
The Pentathlon is an unconventional competition, where each swimmer participates
in five events: 50-yard butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle,
and the 100-yard individual medley. All times are then combined
for an individual and team total time.
It was the first meet for Bill Henderson as the head coach of the Falcons.
He had some reserved, yet positive expectations going into the first meet.
"Because of where we are in the training schedule, I approached the
meet
with guarded expectations. We have been training very hard the past few
weeks and that doesn’t usually lead to very good sprint swims."
Although the competition does not have conventional events, it is important
to the coaching staff, allowing them to see every member of the team swim
each stroke. According to Henderson, "We have an opportunity to find
out if any members of the team may have a hidden strength we didn’t
know about."
To Henderson’s amazement, freshman swimmer Ryan Smaagard (White Bear
Lake, Minn.) had a first place-time finish in the 50-yard breaststroke
of 29.93. "I expected to see some good swims out of Ryan, but that
one did surprise me a bit." Smaagard was also the second place finisher
overall for his individual total time of 2:50.11.
Junior Megan Broskoff (Albert Lea, Minn.) was a first place finisher in
the 50-yard breaststroke and placed fifth overall.
The other top 10 individual performance came from junior Jon Jarvis (Hastings,
Minn.), who placed fourth with a time of 2:54.37.
Henderson and assistant coach Bob Baker are very pleased with their swimmers’
performances and feel good about the upcoming season.
The Falcons will have their first opportunity to show what they can really
accomplish this Friday when they host Oshkosh. "This [meet] will
give me a much better idea of where we are and how training has been going.
I’m hoping for a very good showing against Oshkosh, but we’ll
have to wait and see how we stack up against them," says Henderson.
Competition begins at 6:30 p.m. All home competitions for this season
will be held at the River Falls High School. The Falcons also compete
on Saturday at the Midwest Co-Ed Relays at Eau Claire. Competition
begins at noon.
The 2002-03 Flacons are lead by captains Broskoff, senior Amy LaMott (Burnsville,
Minn.), and juniors Jarvis and Brandon VanVleet (Cambridge-Isanti, Minn.)
