Stingrays swim past Waterville

Monica Berndt won one race and took second place in two others to help lead the Quincy swim team to a win over Waterville last Wednesday.

The Quincy Stingrays swim team grabbed more than its fair share of high point honors during last Wednesday’s first home meet of the season.

Those efforts helped the Quincy swimmers defeat Waterville 5.649 to 4.990.

High point honors went to Riley Beaumont (21 points), Tyson Beaumont (21), Gates Petersen (21), Russell Silk (21), Natalie Thomsen and Hannah Winkler (19), Rachel Horning (21) and Madi Petersen and Rachel Lindell (21).

Winkler was able to swim past her fear of the 100-yard freestyle. The 9-year-old grabbed first in a time of 1:40.85.

“She wasn’t sure she could swim it. She was so nervous, but she finished it,” coach Jay Knodell said. “She’s got a really nice looking stroke.”

Brendan VanDiest showed signs of improvement in all three of his events. He had just over five seconds of improvement in his 50-yard breast and 50-year freestyle combined. He really kicked it in gear in the 100-freestyle by slicing off 13 seconds.

“I knew he had swam well, but I did not know he cut that much off,” Knodell said.

For the girls, Eva Gonzalez cut more than 12 seconds off her 25-backstroke time and placed sixth in 56.80.

The team performed well against the smaller team. The Stingrays brought 52 swimmers to Waterville’s 32 and scored 836 points to their opponent’s 479. The girls won their side of the meet 5.7 to 5.4, while the boys won 5.5 to 4.4.

“I think we swam well,” Knodell said. “The boys just smashed them.”
