Swimmers take third
Arrowhead's 11-year winning streak halted
The impressive 11-year winning streak of capturing the Classic 8/Greater Metro Conference boys swimming championship is over for the Arrowhead Warhawks. Newcomer Muskego put an end to that run last Saturday.
Taking part in the nine-school conference meet at Waukesha South, Muskego, in the league for the first time, surprised league favorite Brookfield and AHS and won the title with 456 points. Brookfield was second at 379, and Arrowhead took third with 311 points.
The Warhawks, coached by Bob Jenkyns, had won the last 11 conference titles and 12 of the previous 15.
Last year, Arrowhead dominated the conference meet, winning with 673 points and seven event victories.
On Saturday, AHS did not win a single race and topped out with four second-place finishes. Junior Jake Barry took second for Arrowhead in the 100-yard backstroke with a time of 55.24, and sophomore Logan Kozlik took second in the 100 freestyle at 48.49.
