"Our invite finish was our best showing at this meet in over six years," coach William Twitchell said. "Freshman Claire Flatley showed a fair amount of fortitude with her finish in both the 200 free and 500 free. Overall it was an excellent team effort."

The Lancers also whipped West Allis, 142-51, on Thursday as they won every event.

"The team was led by a strong first place finish by Jessica Bourdow in diving," Twitchell said.
