Despite winning just one event, Arrowhead dom- inated the Classic 8/Greater Metro Confer- ence boys swim meet at Waukesha South earlier this month. And one year without the conference crown was enough for the Warhawks. Arrowhead piled up 529.5 points easily over defend- ing champion Muskego, which scored 357. They were followed by Brookfield (349.5), Waukesha South/ Catholic Memorial (304.5) and Waukesha North/Ket- tle Moraine/Pewaukee (249.5). "When Muskego, the new boys in town, came in last year and won every- thing, It was kind of a shock," Arrowhead coach Bob Jenkyns said. "Since they won it last year, our boys wanted it back. There was a little bit more determination, a little bit more fire and a little bit more desire to win this meet." The meet could have used a little bit more suspense. Even though Muskego had won five of the first seven events, the Warriors found themselves trailing Arrowhead in the early team scores. The defend- ing champs won meet- opening 200-yard medley relay before senior Joe Szczupakiewicz won the 200 and 500 yard freestyles and senior Jon Roberts won the 50 and 100 yard freestyles. Szczupakiewicz and Roberts were both on the winning 200 medley relay. "That just shows you that you can have all the superstars but it's the 2-3-4 guys that win the meets for you," Muskego coach Larry Milton said. "No. 1s get the publicity, but 2s, 3s and 4s make the differ- ence. It was almost a com- plete flip from last year's meet." Through the first seven races, Arrowhead picked up four second-place results and three third- place finishes. Meanwhile, Brookfield's Brian Borden swam away from the field in the 200 individual medley with a time of 1:56.55 – a full three seconds ahead of the pack. Borden would later set a conference record in the 100 yard breaststroke with a time of 59.88. "I didn't expect either of his two swims today," Brookfield coach Bill Twitchell said. "He seems very focused. Not that he's every unfocused, but he's kind of on a mission. Only he knows what he's capable of and I think that's very exciting. The table seems to be set for a storybook end- ing to his high school career." Borden agreed. "This week, I've been working on my stroke a lot more in-depth than usual," Borden said of his prepara- tion. "It feels great to leave with my name in the record book. But these next two weeks are the two weeks that I look forward to all year." Worth noting is that all but one of the conference champions in the individu- al events were seniors – the exception being Wauke- sha West/Mukwonago junior diver Chris Miszews- ki. Waukesha South/ Catholic Memorial senior Alec Carlson held everyone off in the 100 yard back- stroke, and senior John Seiler of Menomonee Falls/Ger mantown/Hamil- ton topped the field in the 100 butterfly. "Right now, I'm loving where I'm at," Roberts said. "I wanted to go 47 and I went 46 in the 100 (freestyle) and 21.3 was probably my best time of the season in the 50 (freestyle), so I was happy with that. The real season starts now. I'm giving it all I have at state." Jenkyns, who watched his team finish with five second-place and six third-place results, pointed to the efforts of junior Jack Quinn (fourth in the breast- stroke) and sophomore Zach Meyer (sixth in the 500 freestyle) as team high- lights. "Jack Quinn swam out of his mind and, in fact, he might have earned a sec- tional spot – something I wasn't expecting," Jenkyns said. "He was the swimmer of our team today. It was just that second-tier group of guys that were just drop- ping phenomenal time drops all day. Our second- tier guys swam incredible well." CLASSIC 8/GREATER METRO CONFERENCE BOYS SWIMMING AND DIVING Warhawks get back to top of conference Arrowhead wins one event, but cruises past competition Arrowhead wins conference relays Robert F. Borkowski/Special to The Freeman Arrowhead's Nicholas Woida swims the 100-yard butterfly during the Classic 8 /Greater Metro Conference Championships at Waukesha South. By Tony Mooren Freeman Correspondent BROOKFIELD – If the seed times and perfor- mance held up in the final two events, the Classic 8/Greater Metro Confer- ence Relays swim meet was going to be something spe- cial last month. Three teams would have finished within two points for the championship. But Arrowhead High School swimmers ignored the seed times, battered and bettered them and the Warhawks went on to claim the title with 120 points. Runner-up Muskego had 106 points and third-place Brookfield, with a final- event disqualification that cost it a tie for second, post- ed 97 points. The meet turned out to be something special for Arrowhead, which was runner-up to Muskego in last year's inaugural meet for the Warriors. "Last year Muskego came in with a really good team and it feels good to be back on top where we were for many years," Arrowhead coach Bob Jenkyns said. Arrowhead's perfor- mance in the second-to-last event, the 400 freestyle relay, was pretty much the clincher as the Warhawks team of senior Jake Barry, juniors Logan Kozlik and Corbin Grimes and fresh- man Nicholas Woida fin- ished in 3:18.02 – far better than their 3:29.00 seed time that would have placed them third. "That was really huge. That gave us the momen- tum," Jenkyns said."Coach told us to hold nothing back so we gave it everything we had," Grimes said. "We knew that the meet was close and that we had to go all out. We were really thrilled with our time." "It was a good morale booster," Kozlik said. "Muskego beat us in this meet last year and went on to win the conference so this is definitely a spurt for us. Our whole team was behind us during the race and I was really excited and ready for it, especially since it was my last race of the day." Junior Allen Roller, sopho- more Logan Roberts and freshmen Tyler Wrasman and Tiger Fan punctuated the excitement by winning the final event in 1:42.59 – better than their seed time of 1:46.00 than would have placed them second. "It's hard to pull away in this meet because the teams are pretty equal," Jenkyns said. "One mis-swim and you can be shot down a number of spots so we talked a lot about total team effort and no mistakes. "Muskego and Brookfield really pushed us a lot but I'm not surprised. We know how good and deep they are. Our guys dug deep to win this meet." Arrowhead and Muskego placed second and third, respectively, in the recent Marquette Invitational, which was won by Madison West. "Here we go again: Chas- ing Arrowhead," Muskego coach Larry Milton said. "Last year they were chas- ing us but now the tail's on the wrong end but hats off to Arrowhead, Their young kids are really doing well. My team surprised me. If we can just work a little harder we'll be ready for the conference meet. Every- body did well." Arrowhead also won the 300 backstrtoke and 500 freestyle relays – the 300 in record (2:36.80) time – with Barry, Roberts, Wrasman and Kozlik on both teams. Waukesha South/ Catholic Memorial won the 800 freestyle with seniors Alec Carlson and Kyle Gerum and freshmen Nathan Carlson and Andrew Derzay.
