MARYSVILLE – Marysville Getchell diver Brooke Wherley placed first in diving scoring 330.5 points when the MG and Marysville-Pilchuck swim teams competed against Meadowdale Oct. 15.

Though MG’s swim team lost 132-33 and so did M-P 111-60, both teams had some high finishers.

MG’s Emmaline Savidge placed second in the 100-meter backstroke with a time of 1 minute, 17.65 seconds.

Top finishers for M-P included: Abigail Magee placing first in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:20.49 and first in the 100-meter butterfly in 1:03.5.

Rebekah Pusateri finished first in the 50-freestyle in 27.92 seconds, and Lauren Carson placed first in diving scoring 141.40. Because M-P and MG are a combined team, Carson also beat the top Meadowdale diver, but did not to against Wherley.
