LIMA - The Ada girls and boys swim teams competed well in the Div. II sectional meet held at the Lima YMCA Saturday.
Four Ada individual swimmers qualified in two events apiece, and two girls relay squads also made it to the district meet at Bowling Green this coming weekend.
The top 32 swimmers in each event, judged and ranked by their times throughout all six Ohio sectional meets in Div. II, qualified for district competition.
"The team had an amazing day; even outside of our district qualifiers, (our other) swimmers were dropping time left and right for some of the best times of the season," said Ada head coach Stephanie Steiner-McMahon.
"I am extremely proud of how far this team has come this season, and am very excited to see what will happen going forward," she enthused.
Lady Bulldog senior standout Klava Katayama made it to districts for the fourth straight season. She touched first in the 100-yard butterfly, and also won the 50 freestyle. She is the top seed going into the BG districts in both events.
Bulldog senior Isaac Spar returned to districts by coming in third in the 200 individual medley, and fifth in the 100 butterfly.
Bulldog freshman Carlie Oldfield finished third in the 50 free, and fourth in the 100 backstroke to make it to BG in two events.
Ada junior Paige Cole also qualified in two races by coming in fourth in the 100 butterfly, and fifth in the 100 breaststroke.
The Ada girls quartet of Oldfield, Cole, Katayama and freshman Kaitlyn Bowden qualified in both the 200 freestyle (second), and 200 medley relay (third) races.
Both girls relay foursomes placed in the top eight of district qualifying teams, the coach reported.
Ada senior Hunter Wells just missed making it to districts despite coming in fourth in the 200 freestyle. "Unfortunately, his time was not quite fast enough," explained the coach.
