Congrats to all the girls on a fabulous season. Final Season summaries, best times, and records will all be updated soon so you can see our progress this year.

The State girls all performed as well or better than at sectionals. The perfect taper is hard to reproduce two weekends in a row, but the girls were up to the task. Valerie Tonyan and Kristen Hohl swam faster than at sectionals. Aubriana Ard dove exceptionally well, but just missed making the final cut. Jessica Hohl and Jenna Sveen were both within tenths of their LTB's from the week before and swam their second-fastest times ever in all events.

Congratulations to all swimmers on an unbelievable sectional meet. Great leadership kept us going through ups and downs, right to the end of the meet. Nearly everyone had best times. We have more qualifiers than ever before. We broke 3 varsity records, 5 Co-op Records, and 2 School Records. Can't ask for much more!

Congratulations to state qualifiers Aubriana Ard (diving), Jessica Hohl (100 free, 200 free), and the 400 free relay of Jenna Sveen, Valerie Tonyan, Kristen Hohl, and Jessica Hohl.

Congratulations to Varsity Record breakers Aubriana Ard (diving), Jessica Hohl (100 free), and the 400 free relay (Sveen, Tonyan, Hohl, Hohl).

What a way to finish off the season! Check out all the best times on the meet results page...we had so many they can't all be mentioned! The DVC meet was an entire team effort, as Wheaton took 3rd in all 3 divisions (which in my book is just as good as winning it). This was a taste of what "real swimming" is like, and we stepped up nicely to the challenge. Special kudos to our swimmers who placed in the top 6 in their events:

VARSITY: Jessica Hohl (200 free), Jenna Sveen (200 free, 500 free), Val Tonyan (200 IM), Aubriana Ard (diving), Jessica Sveen (100 back), and Sarah Fallon (100 breast).

FRESHMAN: Lena Dansdill (200 free, 500 free), Chelsea Cameron (100 free, 200 free), Jamie Bobo (200 IM, 100 fly), Kate Tracey (200 IM, 100 fly), Ashley Schultz (50 free, 100 free), Jeri Frederickson (100 breast, 500 free), Carly Blake (100 back), and Jenna Walkoviak (100 breast).

JUNIOR VARSITY: Ashley Korol (diving), Tricia Fallon (100 fly).

Both the Varsity and Junior Varsity swim teams defeated Oswego and lost a close meet to Bartlett. On the varsity level, winners were Jessica Hohl (100 free, 200 free), Aubriana Ard (diving), Kristen Hohl (50 free) and the 200 free relay (Hohl, Hohl, Angela Tomazin, Sarah Fallon). On the JV level, winning events for Wheaton were Lena Dansdill (200 free), Kate Tracey (200 IM), Rachael Harmon (50 free), Julia Lederhouse (100 fly), Ariana Silva (100 free) and the 400 free relay (Dansdill, Ashley Ebersberger, Lauren Kurcz, Silva).

Going into the last meet of the season, the tapering girls showed great response to the first week of taper (which means even better things next week); the non-taper girls showed great resolve in swimming fast times amidst hard work. It will pay off in a few weeks!

The varsity swim team defeated West Aurora and lost a close meet to West Chicago, while the JV Team soundly defeated both teams. On the varsity level, winners were Jessica Hohl (200 free) Valerie Tonyan (500 free), and the 400 free relay of Val Tonyan, Brittany Pusavc, Jessica Hohl, and Jenna Sveen.

On the JV level, Wheaton finished first and second in every event except 2. Winning events for Wheaton were Lena Dansdill, Katelyn Johnson, Tricia Fallon, Lauren Kurcz, Ariana Silva, Jill Pomozak, Jessie Domeier, and Rachael Harmon.

What an impressive display of best times and scores after a very challenging week of work. The team finished 3rd in the frosh division and 4th in the varsity division, but was second overall if you combine the two. Way to go!

The biggest highlite of the meet occured on Friday, as Aubriana Ard set a school record in the 11-dive competition. Wheaton got top-3 finished out of Jessica Sveen (2nd - 100 fly, 2nd - 100 back), Valerie Tonyan (3rd - 200 IM), Angela Tomazin (3rd soph - 200 IM and 500 free), Kristen Hohl (2nd soph - 50 free, 3rd soph - 100 free), Kate Peterson (3rd soph - 100 back), and Sarah Billingsly (3rd sohp - 100 breast). Relay top 3 finished were the varsity 200 medley (Sveen, Sarah Fallon, Tonyan, Jenna Sveen), the soph 200 medley (Peterson, Billingsly, Tomazin, K Hohl), the soph 200 free (Billingsly, Jamie Bobo, Lena Dansdill, Kate Tracey), and the frosh 400 free (Tomazin, Peterson, Bobo, K Hohl). Against very tough fields, senior Jessica Hohl also closed in on IHSA state cuts in the 100 free and 200 free.
