Katayama, Beaschler pace Bulldog swimmers at Lima Sr. Invite

By Cort Reynolds

LIMA - The Ada girls and boys swim teams compiled a combined 7-3 record at the six-team Lima Senior swim meet duals Wednesday night at the Lima YMCA.

 

"The girls swam very well," said Ada head coach Tanner Holke. "Almost every swimmer had at least one personal-best time, and form improvements were noticeable."

 

The Bulldog girls picked up four wins under the multiple dual meet format, losing only to Minster in head-to-head scoring. The Ada boys posted a solid 3-2 dual meet record.

 

Ada sophomore Klava Katayama won both the 200 individual medley and 500 freestyle races to pace the Lady Bulldogs.

 

Ada senior Zach Beaschler finished first in the 200 IM and 100 free events to lead the Bulldog boys.
