Grand Rapids Catholic Central

Posted 2/9/2005  -  By Mickey Dotson

In a meet that was probably closer than it should have been, Jenison wound up beating Grand Rapids Catholic Central 101 to 85.  Going into the diving event, we  were behind 32 to 30.  Our divers did really well, going 1, 2, and 5 to put us  in the lead 41 to 37.  I think at that point some changes were made to the lineup to  make sure we didn't lose the meet.  The next two events allowed the Cougars to tie it up at 55.  The 500 free gave us back the lead, which was never in question after  that. 

We still miss Matt Anderson, who is out with some illness.  Apparently, Adam Petto is out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Our 200 Medley relay team of Brad Dotson, Derek Zokoe, Jeff Walkotten, and Todd Kennedy won this event in 1:46.14.

West Michigan Relays

Posted 12/13/2004 -  By Mickey Dotson

We placed 11th at the West Michigan Relays on Saturday.  The meet  started off on a very serious note when freshman diver, Charlie Frens,  hit the board during warmups.  He was executing a reverse dive when  the back of his head made contact with the diving board, knocking him out.  He was rescued from the bottom of the pool and taken across the street to the hospital where tests were run and staples were applied. 

He is expected to make a full recovery.  There was no damage to the spine or skull.  He may have a headache for a while.

The team was pretty shook up by the whole ordeal.  Our divers did not compete.  The rest of the team managed to turn in a pretty solid performance in spite of this situation.
