Windham+Girls+Finish+Strong+at+2012+Southwesterns

The Lady Eagles had strong finish to their 2012 South Southwestern Championship with a 1st Place finish in the 400 Free Relay. Overall, the Girls ended with a 6th Place finish and had a good meet against a very stong field.

The Windham Girls brought their best and peaked at the right time with a very impressive 20 season-best swims!

The 400 Free Relay quartet of Ashley Crocker, Alex Farinella, McKayla Eskilson, and Elaine Miller took the event with a season's best time of 4:05.11. That marks back-to-back-to-back 400 Free Relay titles for the Windham Girls. The event was one of the most exciting of the season and came down to a photo finish with the crowd going crazy. It was described by the Portland Press Herald as "spirited". Miller had a blazing 55.87 split in the final leg to seal the deal for the Eagles.

Strong, point scoring swims from the Girls included Alex Farinella (200 Free and 500 Free, both featuring significant time drops), Sheridan Sone (200 Free and 100 Breast), Eskilson (200 IM and 100 Breast), Morgan Dyer (200 IM), Crocker (50 Free and 100 Free), Olivia Gilvey (100 Breast), and Miller (100 Free and 100 Back).

In addition to the 400 Free "A Relay" win, the Girls had several strong point scoring relay swims. The 200 Medley A unit of Mary Emerson, Catie Greep, Maggie Kilgallon, and Tali Amero finished 9th. The 200 Medley B group of Phoebe Hurd, Isobel Cunningham (with an eye-popping 38.08 Breast split), Hannah Damron, and Bryanna Power had an excellent swim finishing with a faster time than several A Relays. The 200 Free Relay team of Gilvey, Dyer, Tali Amero, and Sone had a very strong swim and a 6th Place finish. The 400 Free B Relay of Emily Gagne, Phoebe Hurd, Power, and Jessica Stumper had best-time swims and finished with a strong 4:50.61, ahead of several other school's A Relays.

Other notable swims with major time drops included Hurd and Cunningham (200 Medley Relay), Emerson (200 Free), Kilgallon (200 IM and 100 Fly), Stumper (50 Free), and Damron (500 Free).
