New Prague swim team sets new records and season bests at Sections
A couple of school records were broken by the New Prague swimming and diving team during the Oct. 22 and 23 Section 2AA Championship Meet.
Freshman Payten Schieffer was involved in both school records.
Schieffer broke her own 100-yard butterfly record with a time of 59.71. She finished eighth overall in this event.
The 200-yard freestyle relay team of Schieffer, junior Lydia Popple, freshman Ella Lund, and seventh grader Taylor Bassett placed seventh in a time of 1:46.35, which set a new school record.
Trojan head coach Cassie Jung said senior Jillian Weichert broke her foot five days before Sections and Popple took her spot in the relay, helping the team break the record.
