Top Moment #5 Win at McKinley Leads to Undefeated Season
5. Win at McKinley Leads to Undefeated Season
On January 6, the Louisville Lady Leopards pulled off a stunning 94-76 victory over the host Canton McKinley Bulldogs at the C.T. Branin Natatorium. The win over McKinley was the Lady Leopards first since the first year of LHS’s program in 1980-81.
The Lady Leopards would go on to complete their undefeated 13-0 season on January 31 with a 115-52 victory over Cloverleaf. Also finishing undefeated individually was Lady Leopards Senior Stephanie Brookens who completed her 26-0 run on the same day.
Against McKinley, Brookens paced Louisville by taking first place in the 50 and 100 Freestyle races. Amy Yu also had two first place finishes for the Leps in the 200 IM and the 100 Butterfly, while Stephanie Horton won the 100 Breaststroke as well.
The Lady Leps also won the 200 and 400 freestyle relay races. The two teams were comprised of Ashley Brookens, Rachel Morris, Audre Gonda, Angela Godwin, Stephanie Spehar, Amy Yu, Tina Yu, and Stephanie Brookens.
Typically McKinley fields a diving team, while Louisville does not and that usually gives the Bulldogs an edge in points by the end of the meet. However, the waters were even for this meet because the team from Canton did not field any divers.
Also of note, Matt Campbell of the boys squad finished 25-1 on the year. His only second place finish of the season came at McKinley where he was out-touched at the wall in the 50 Freestyle. The boys team as a whole finished 7-6 on the year.
