Xavier Prep’s
swimmers and divers were outdistanced by Scottsdale Chaparral in the 2018
Division I state championship, and when the two headlined the 2019 meet on
Thursday (Nov. 7) and Friday (Nov. 8), the result was virtually the same.
Xavier did
make a bit of headway this time at the Kino Aquatic Complex in Mesa. In 2018,
there was a differential of 176 ½ points between the Gators and Chaparral, and
this time, the gap was 160.
Across the
board, Chaparral’s quality and depth was just too much.
Highlights
for Xavier were the championship swim by senior Maddie Wright in the 100-yard
freestyle (51:09) to defeat Gilbert Perry’s Kelly Fama (51.81), and the three
relay teams (200-yard medley, 200-yard freestyle and 400-yard freestyle) that
finished second to Chaparral.
Wright also
finished third in the individual 200 free. Junior Mia Rankin was second in the
200-yard individual medley and third in the 500-yard freestyle, junior Jordan
Herrera was seventh in the 200 IM and sixth in the 100-yard butterfly, junior
Kelly Scott was seventh in the 50-yard freestyle and fourth in the 100 free,
sophomore Gracie Munk was third in the 100-yard backstroke and third in the 100
fly, junior Paola Guerra was fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke.
In 1-meter
diving, senior Maddy Sewell capped an outstanding Xavier career by advancing to
the final for the fourth straight time and finishing 11th out of 16
in the final.
