Planter's WalkThe No. 20-seed Planters Walk Piranhas dropped their first meet of the season to the No. 13-seed Coachmans Trail Sharks on June 30 in a 205-309 final.
The loss may have been tough to stomach as it was the Piranhas home opener, but in the July 7 meet the team (2-1) might have found home-water redemption in facing Manchester, an 0-3 team. Results from the meet were not available at press time. Planters Walk travels to Durant Trails for the July 14 meet the teams next-to-last of the summer.Despite the loss, solid effort in the meet against Coachmans Trail was seen from all swimmers, and triple winners included Anna Luckenbach for the 9-10 girls and Kelsey Moore for the 13-14 girls, and Dax Hardy pulled the double win for the 6U boys.Stopwatch winners for the week the kids who dropped the most time were Caleb Darlington (8.99 seconds in the 6U breaststroke), Michael Palko (31.43 seconds in the 7-8 breaststroke), Evan Peters (8.66 seconds in 7-8 the backstroke), Natalie Van Dyke (9.85 seconds in the 7-8 freestyle), Eric Godette (34.54 seconds in the 11-12 breaststroke), Scottie Kent (8.38 seconds in the 13-14 backstroke), and Ryan Alandt (8.31 seconds in the freestyle).Results for the June 30 meet are as follows:Medley Relay First 9-10 girls Anna Luckenbach, Lillie Lawrence, Brenna Hardy and Samantha Darlington; 11-12 girls Morgan Dameron, Hannah Moore, Kristin Olson and Maiah Cope; 13-14 girls Alyssa Birchard, Kelsey Moore, Rachel Moore and Megan Woodlief; 15-18 girls Christin Birchard, Jordyn Izzo, Emily Korostynski and Bayley Harmon.FreestyleFirst Dax Hardy, Anna Luckenbach and Kelsey Moore.Second Luke Peters, Paige Luckenbach, Stefon Ricks, Kristin Olson, Rachel Shaw, Lee Addison and Emily Korostynski.Third Marie Rashleigh, Evan Peters, Brenna Hardy, Morgan Dameron, Christian Mason and Bayley Harmon.BackstrokeFirst Dax Hardy, Anna Luckenbach and Kelsey Moore.Second Ethan Robinson, Brenna Hardy, Kristin Olson, Rachel Shaw, Christian Mason and Christin Birchard.

Fans witnessed several individual victories from the Waves, and improved times and stroke techniques across the board, but the Sharks, who are averaging 321 points per meet, bit hard and never let go, despite several valiant attempts from Wendell at evening things in the relay races. A highlight for the Waves was the crushing first-second-third win swam by Calvin Hawke, Mitch Wells and Tyler Tripp, respectively. Daniel Duttman also proved valuable as the Waves only triple winner, taking first in freestyle, backstroke and butterfly.Others with outstanding performances included Justin Strickland, Staci Hunter, Keslee Snuggs, Lizzie Drake, and Chip Raynor.Wendell hits the road for a second consecutive week for next Tuesdays (July 14) meet against Hawthorne at 7 p.m.Results for the June 30 meet at Heddingham are as follows:Medley RelayFirst place 13-14 boys Tyler Tripp, Calvin Hawke, Brodie Walton and Jonathan Barrett; 13-14 girls Madison Hodges, Brinkley Raynor, Lizzie Drake and Alicia Neal; 15-18 boys Kenneth Irgens, Josh Privette, Bryan Duttman and Chris Andrews; 15-18 girls Lindsey Broadwell, Lauren Frederick, Emily Sanderson and Kali Snuggs.

Through the Medley Relay, Zebulon trailed 15-25, but took back over by one point after the Freestyle heats, 73-72. Backstroke proved not to be a problem for the home team as it stretched its lead to 129-113, but Breaststroke wasnt as generous to the Dolphins. Meredith Towns (1-2 as of the loss) outscored Zebulon 54-36 to take the 165-167 lead. But Butterfly, a stroke that mirrors that of an actual dolphin, was no problem for the Dolphins. Zebulon went up 217-197 through the final individual heats and preserved the win through the Freestyle Relay.Triple winners for Zebulon were Ryan Worley, Rachel Crowder, Hamilton Brantley, Mackenzie Wehunt, Macon Crowder and Elizabeth Oliver, and the sole double winner was Harrison Huets.Results for the Dolphins in the June 30 meet are as follows: Medley Relay First place 9-10 girls Rachel Smith, Anna Huets, Caroline Jones and Julia Wrenn; 11-12 boys Ryan Worley, Alston Willard, Justin Lape and Zack WIllard; 13-14 girls Cheyenne Schug, Mackenzie Wehunt, Suzanna Lee and Bryanna Schug; 15-18 girls Melissa Brannan, Maryssa Lape, Elizabeth Oliver and Rachel Crowder.Second 7-8 girls Whitley Creech, Bella Leahy, Ashley Kerr and Julia Smith; 9-10 boys Brian Wolf, Wade Creech, Casey Fralix and Devin Worley.FreestyleFirst Harrison Huets, Julia Wrenn, Ryan Worley, Rachel Crowder, Hamilton Brantley, Mackenzie Wehunt, Macon Crowder and Elizabeth Oliver.Second Cam Wehunt, Devin Worley, Alston Willard, Cheyenne Schug and Melissa Brannan.Third Bella Leahy, Whitley Creech and Rachel Smith.Backstroke First Harrison Huets, Julia Wrenn, Ryan Worley, Rachel Crowder, Hamilton Brantley, Cheyenne Schug, Macon Crowder and Melissa Brannan.Second Maci Perry, Rachel Smith, Alston Willard and Maryssa Lape.Third Bella Leahy, Josh Temple, Whitley Creech and Devin Worley.Breaststroke First Josh Temple, Justin Lape, Mackenzie Wehunt and Elizabeth Oliver.Second Breanna Schug, Wade Creech, Caroline Jones, Alston Willard and Maryssa Lape.Third Anna Grace Bridgers, Joel Fralix and Mackenzie Wehunt.Butterfly First Cam Wehunt, Devin Worley, Ryan Worley, Rachel Crowder, Hamilton Brantley, Mackenzie Wehunt, Macon Crowder and Elizabeth Oliver.Second Devin Worley, Julia Wrenn, Justin Lape and Melissa Brannan.Third Mackenzie Wehunt.Freestyle Relay First 9-10 girls Rachel Smith, Anna Huets, Caroline Jones and Julia Wrenn; 11-12 boys Ian Kerr, Alston Willard, Justin Lape and Zack Willard; 15-18 girls Melissa Brannan, Rachel Crowder, Elizabeth Oliver and Maryssa Lape.Second 7-8 girls Bella Leahy, Ashley Kerr, Julia Smith and Whitley Creech; 9-10 boys Joel Keefer, Wade Creech, Casey Fralix and Brian Wolf; 13-14 girls Cheyenne Schug, Bryanna Schug, Mackenzie Wehunt and Suzanna Lee; 15-18 boys Ryan Worley, Devin Worley, Hamilton Brantley and Macon Crowder.
