Swimming and Diving

Metro’s swimming and diving team finished the season on a high note as diver Kenny Rhoades set a school record in the 3-meter dive, and both the men’s and women’s swim teams grabbed third place on Feb. 14- 16 at the Rocky Mountain Invitational in Golden.

Kenny Rhoades continued his dominant season by once again breaking a diving record on his way to another win.

For the swimmers, frontrunners Alejandro Hernandez for the men and Lisa Black and Meredith Quast- Lanphier for the women each won an event.

Hernandez took the 200-yard butterfly while also placing second in the 400-yard medley to finish a solid regular season for the freshman swimmer.

Fellow freshman Black wrapped up the backstroke, winning both the 100-and 200-yard contests.

Quast-Lanphier, in her final regular season meet for the Roadrunners swim team, ended on a positive note by winning the 100-yard freestyle. The nontraditional student also received an award commemorating her four years at Metro.

Roadrunner’s swimmers Evan Venrick and Jessica Shaddock sealed second-place finishes, Venrick in the 1,000-yard freestyle and Shaddock in the 200-yard freestyle.

Roadrunner’s sprinter Sheila Hughes led the team, taking fifth place in the 200-meter dash. Runner Jessica Jenkins took a top-10 spot as well, reaching sixth place in the 800-meter run.

For the men it was teamwork that took center stage as the distance medley relay team took second.
