In the 100-yard backstroke, Riley Sabel was ninth (1:10.84) and Andie Rassmussen took 25th (1:42.23).
Sabel led the Marinette/Peshtigo swimmers in 13th place of 36 (1:02.55). Lizzy Whisler took 28th (1:14.61), Isy Stansbury was 30th (1:18.93), and Ally Harding placed 32nd (1:20.72).
In the 100-yard breaststroke, Ella Olive took eighth (1:21.81). Isabel Deourin was 26th (1:35.07), and Lucy Lemire took 29th (1:45.04).
Paige Tachmeier was 16th in the 500-yard freestyle (6:47.16).
Olive came in seventh in the 200-yard individual medley (2:33.22) and Tachmeier was 16th (2:56.88).

In the 400-yard freestyle relay, Marinette/Peshtigo’s team of Mayhew, Olive, Sabel, and Tachmeier took ninth (5:18.93).
In the 200-yard freestyle relay, a team of Lemire, Harding, Whisler, and Stansbury was 12th (2:15.45).
A team of Sabel, Mayhew, Olive, and Tachmeier took eighth in the 200-yard medley relay (2:08.22).
Every swimmer on the team swam a personal best, which has coach Calista Thill looking forward to next season.
“I’m so proud of the way they swam. It was a great way to end the season,” she said. “It was a fun meet with lots of smiles and excitement for next year.”
Ashwaubenon, Kohler, and Grafton were the top three teams at the sectional.
