WEST POINT - The Hartington Dolphin swim team improved a spot in the second swim meet of the summer with a second-place showing at the West Point Invitational on June 28.
Wayne won the team title with 409 points with Hartington a bit of a distant second with 296. West Point was third with 261 and Blair was fourth at 246.
“It was another great day for the Hartington Dolphins,” said Dolphins coach, Anna Reifenrath. “Our team numbers were down quite a bit again, but we got second overall and we collected the most first-place finishes out of any teams.”
Hadley Dendinger had a great day in the pool, winning all of her individual events in her age group (11-12 years).
She won the 100-meter individual medley, the 50-meter butterfly, the 50-meter backstroke and 50-meter freestyle.
She also teamed with Emily Climer, Lucy Steffen and Kyson Lammers to win the 15-18 medley relay and anchored the 11-12 freestyle relay to wins in both of those races.
She was joined by Keira Carl, Max Climer and Braxton Christensen in the 11-12 freestyle relay win.
Hadley’s younger sister, Piper, also had a fine day in West Point.
Competing in the 9-10 year old age group, Piper won the 100 individual medley and 25-meter backstroke.
She also placed third in the 25-meter freestyle and fourth in the 25 butterfly.
Dendinger also joined Levi Steffen, Anders Peitz and Garrett Bartling to win the the 9-10 freestyle relay.
Bartling took a first place title of his own in the 9-10 100-meter medley and a couple of second-place finishes in the 25-meter butterfly and backstroke.
Levi Steffen won the 25 backstroke and also placed third in both the 25-meter butterfly and the 25 freestyle.
Kyson Lammers won three individual races taking first in the 15-18 individual medley , the 50-meter backstroke and the 50 breaststroke.
Some other notable performances came from Max Climer, who won the 11-12 50-meter breaststroke, Eli Hochstein placed third in three individual events and second in another and Braxton Christensen placed third in two of his events and second in another to add to the team total.
