NER/Ely swimmers bring home four medals

Posted

AURORA– In keeping with unprecedented and unexpected developments of high school sports this fall, the Section 7A girls swimming meet last weekend did not disappoint.
“The meet ended in truly 2020 fashion,” said Nighthawks Coach Cheri DeBeltz. “We lost power right before the last event and we ended up swimming that 400 Freestyle Relay using cellphone lights and the emergency lights in the pool area. The girls will never forget this meet or this season, that’s for sure.”
The Nighthawks brought home four medals for the day and finished in tenth place out of 11 teams. Medalists included:
• Morgan McClelland took seventh place in the 200 Freestyle with a time of 2:11.01.
• Lily Tedrick finished the 200 Individual Medley in eighth place with a time of 2:30.32.
• In the 200 Freestyle Relay, the NER/Ely team of Tedrick, McClelland, Anna Larson and Kelly Thompson took eighth place time of 1:51.64.
• Tedrick, McClelland, Cedar Ohlhauser and Thompson finished eighth in the 400 Freestyle Relay with a time of 4:07.61.
“We are so proud of the girls and the way they handled themselves and the way they swam,” DeBeltz said. “We had some absolutely great times. Almost all of the times we swam were personal lifetime bests. Those who did not get lifetime-best at least (posted) season-best times.”
