Stepping out of the Onondaga High School League scene for a moment, the Skaneateles girls swim team met Auburn last Monday night at the Community Center.
The Lakers stayed quite competitive, but still lost to the Maroons 100-85. Rachael DeWitt won twice for Skaneateles, starting with the 200 individual medley, where she prevailed in a time of 2:30.70. She later claimed first place in the 500 freestyle in 5:46.30.
Courtney Pitman earned 165.1 points on the diving board and won that event. DeWitt teamed with Nikki Cole, Amanda Shoenfelt and Holly Ross for a top time of 4:09.65 in the 400 freestyle relay. Auburn featured Mary Jane Leja, who won the 200 freestyle (2:08.52) and 100 freestyle (57.04 seconds) before it was done.
Skaneateles has one more meet left in the regular season, as it faces Manlius-Pebble Hill next Wednesday night at Henninger High School’s pool.
