West Lafayette Jr-Sr High School

The West Lafayette Red Devils traveled locally to the JV Finale, hosted annually by McCutcheon High School to conclude the end of the regular season. Major team goals for the day were to tackle new, more difficult events that wouldn’t have been possible at the beginning of the season, or to celebrate growth and improvement in key events since the beginning of the season. Both teams did a fantastic job, racking up 39 individual best times across eight individual events, including four athletes swimming events for the first time, including: 200 Freestyle: Mia Munguia-Aponte (FR), Jessica Reingold (SO), Gargi Tawalarami (FR), Megan Clary (FR) 200 IM: Sophia Vlachos (JR), Daniel Puente (FR) 100 Butterfly: Daniel Puente (FR), Daniel Wang (FR) 100 Freestyle: Mungia-Aponte 500 Freestyle: Madigan Boesch (JR), Zihan Xu (SO) 100 Backstroke: Estelle Seymour (FR), Tawalarami Freshman Daniel Wang led the group in time dropped, with an impressive 28.04 second drop over his previous personal record in the 200 Freestyle.
