The divers for the Delton Kellogg/
Thornapple Kellogg/Hastings girls’ swim-
ming and diving team certainly got the job
done Thursday.
DK/TK/HHS junior Eve Bishop boosted
her score from meet one to meet two by more
than 30 points as she won the diving competi-
tion at her team’s dual with Fremont at the
Community Education and Recreation Center
in Hastings. Freshman teammate Abigail
Dumond upped her score to place second in
the event and sophomore Maelea Martin was
right in line with what she scored in the event
the first time around, placing third Thursday.
Those were the only three divers compet-
ing, and the DK/TK/HHS team had a signifi-
cant depth advantage all the way around as it
scored a 95-59 victory to improve to 2-0 on
the season.
Things get tougher from here for the DK/
TK/HHS girls as they host the Muskegon-
Mona Shores Co-op for a non-conference
dual Thursday, Sept. 16. The Muskegon-Mona Shores girls and the DK/TK/HHS girls
spent years battling each other for OK
Rainbow Tier II Conference championships
before the Muskegon girls’ recent move out of
the conference.
“We have several brand new kids. For
many of them the meet with Ionia was their
first meet, so this was their second meet,”
DK/TK/HHS head coach Carl Schoessel said.
“We’re seeing improvements in them with
times, but starts and turns and things like that
we still have to work on.”
Bishop’s big score Thursday was a 202.
to win the diving competition. Dumond was
second at 199.73 and Martin tallied 146.
points.
DK/TK/HHS won all 12 events in the dual
with Fremont. The meet started with the team
of Lily Foy, Erin Daniels, Preslee Hall and
Ellen Shults taking the 200-yard medley relay
in 2 minutes 15.92 seconds.
Cadence VanOoy and Sophia Marcukaitis
won the next two races for DK/TK/HHS and
were the only two girls to win two individual
races on the evening. VanOoy took the 200-yard freestyle in 2:20.40 and followed that up
later by winning the 500-yard freestyle in
6:23.77. Marcukaitis took the 200-yard indi-
vidual medley in 2:27.82 and then the 100-
yard breaststroke in 1:15.96.
Sophia Marcukaitis also teamed with Holly
Carpenter, Anna Haywood and Abby
Marcukaitis to win the 200-yard freestyle
relay with a time of 1:50.83. Abby, AubreyHawks, Haywood and Carpenter won the
400-yard freestyle relay in 4:13.04.
Carpenter was the 50-yard freestyle champ
with a time of 28.72 seconds. Abby
Marcukaitis won the 100-yard butterfly in
1:01.70. Haywood took the 100-yard freestyle

The Vikings are back on top.
There have only been two Greater Lansing
Activities Conference jamborees this season,
but Lakewood pulled even with the Bath Bees
atop the conference standings by winning the
conference jamboree hosted by Laingsburg
Thursday afternoon at Pine Hills Golf Course.
The Vikings tallied a score of 203, ahead of
Bath 211, Olivet 215, Laingsburg 232 and
Perry 240. The Vikings and Bath Bees were
tied at the end of the first conference jambo-
ree, with Bath taking the first place points by
winning the fifth-score tiebreaker.
The Thursday jamboree didn’t come down
to that thanks to the Vikings’ depth. Senior
Claire Benham and sophomore Makenzie
Vasquez each scored a 49 to lead the Vikings,
and senior Hailee Shepard scored a 50.Benham and Vasquez tied Bath sophomore
Aubrie Schaibly for fourth individually on the
day and Shepard was seventh. Vasquez fired a
birdie on the short par-4, number two and
Benham birdied the par-4 eighth hole.
Bath senior Ally Estrada and Laingsburg
senior Grace Elfring each scored a 46 and
Olivet junior Miah Kiss scored a 47.
Lakewood had each of its four in the top
ten with sophomore Audrey Hillard tied for

Winkler was right behind with a 58.
The Vikings were set to get together with
the GLAC again Tuesday for the jamboree
hosted by Perry at Glenbrier Golf Course, but
that match was brought to an early end due to
the weather. Bath will play host to a GLAC
jamboree this Thursday (Sept. 16) at Timber
