ADA__The Ada Gators summer swim team dove into its season opener by splitting a dual meet with visiting Wapakoneta at the Ada Municipal Pool Thursday evening, June 5.

The Gator boys team beat the Waves, 145 points to 122. Wapakoneta won the girls meet 270-86 to capture the combined meet by a score of 392-231.

“I am so proud of the job our swimmers did in our first meet,” said Ada head coach Dave Lusk. “We had a number of swimmers in their first meet ever. We also had some (people) swimming events they had never swum before.

“It was a great first meet,” he added.

Gator Landry Harriger took first in five races of the boys 11-12 age division.

Ada’s Lydia Demascio swam to first in three individual events in the girls 15 and over class, and swam the anchor leg for a winning relay quartet.

Gator Lincoln Harriger captured first in three races in the boys 13-14 group.

Adaite Jacob Szippl won three events in the boys 15 and over bracket.

Luke Harriger touched first (boys 9-10) in two events.

Ada’s Alivia Montgomery (girls 15+) and Lily Emerick (girls 13-14) each won a race and finished second in two others. 

Adaite Derek Dennis (boys 13-14) took second in four events.

The Gator meet at Bluffton for Monday has been rescheduled as part of a tri-meet June 30.

Ada hosts Van Wert Thursday, June 12. The Gators are slated to host a home meet each Thursday in June, with Monday meets on the road.

The annual Western Ohio Aquatic League championship meet will be July 11-12 at Wapakoneta.
