Swimming: Amador can't keep pace with Carondelet, De La Salle

As submitted by the Amador swimming representatives 

The Amador Valley varsity girls swim team fell behind early and could not come back against Carondelet falling 122-64.

The Dons came into the meet up by six points after divers Emma Rigl, Haley Brott and Marina Mihov finished 1-3-4.  Chelsea Finn gave the Dons some hope with a second place finish in the IM, but the strong and deep Carondelet team still pulled ahead.

Catherine Breed was a bright spot for the Dons with a first place finish in the 100 free and a second place finish in the fly. Danielle Stickler, swimming the backstroke, also grabbed a second spot.

Amador had four third place finishers, Roshni Nair in the 200 free, Natalie Wong in the fly, Bernadine Martin in the 500 free, and Finn in the breaststroke.

The Dons managed to grab five individual firsts and four seconds, but the depth of the De La Salle varsity swimming and diving team was just too much for Amador Valley to overcome and they fell 105-81.

Andrew Seitz posted a pair of firsts for the Dons, in the IM and the 500 free, to lead the tean in first place finishes. Bryan Hughes chipped in a first in the fly and a second in the 200 free, while Kyle Surber did likewise in the 50 and 100 free. Nick Johnston and Jason Chen went 1-2 in the back for one of Amador's few event point total wins. Chen also finished third in the IM behind Seitz. Tyler Pullen and Peirson Connors placed second and third respectively in the diving event held earlier.

Amador got as close as 10 points after the IM, but the Spartans slowly pulled ahead and led by 14 after Seitz, Tim McLaughlin and Stefan Hall went 1-3-5 in the 500 free. However, that's as close as the Dons would get as De La Salle gained six in the 200 free relay and 10 in the breaststroke to put the meet away.
