Quin Mahler-Moreno qualifies for state in very first meet and breaks her old school record.
The Perry swim team will look to build on a solid first meet last Thursday when they head to Indianola tonight for their second meet of the season. Perry defeated Algona 105-59 in the opening Thursday night dual inside the McCreary Center pool. The Jayettes finished with 9 first place swimmers in the meet. The story of the night was Junior Quinn Mahler-Moreno who finished first in the 100 meter breaststroke with a time of 1:06:96. That qualified Mahler-Moreno for the state meet in the very first meet of the 2023 season, which is definitely impressive. She also broke her old school record by over a second as well.
The Jayettes will look ahead to an Indianola team tonight who is currently 0-1 after dropping their first meet of the season last Tuesday night against Southeast Polk 128-42. They will look to bounce back against Perry. The meet will begin at 5:30 at the Indianola YMCA. I will provide results after the meet on our website at raccoonvalleyradio.com, and for those who missed it, listed below are the results again of the meet last Thursday night against Algona.
