“Masuk has a great group of divers this year,” said Jessica Konkol, the diving coach, adding that the Wittenauers, who are juniors, have been wonderful examples for the freshmen.

“All the girls have great attitudes and are hard workers,” she said. “Kate broke Masuk’s 6 dive record with a 226.75 last year and is expected to break it again before she graduates. I am excited to see what the rest of the season brings.”

The swimmers did a nice job in terms of personal times and a couple race wins against Weston. Eva Helmke won the 50 free with a time of 26.61, out-touching Weston by .03 and won the 100 back with a time of 1:07.96, out-touching Weston by over 3 seconds.

Masuk had 15 season best times against Weston.
