MARION — The YMCA Marlins traveled to Marion this past Saturday for a dual meet with the Marion Community YMCA.<\/p>\n
The Marlins sent only nine of their swimmers and lost basically because they were outnumbered by Marion. Emma Pollock (9-10 Girls) finished first in all five of her individual events, while teammate Katie McVaigh (11-12 Girls) secured three firsts and two second place finishes.<\/p>\n
In 13-14 Boys, Aaron Stant took first place three times and second place twice.\u00a0 Also taking at least one first place were Tyra McClain (2), Ian Rex and Jayden Welker.<\/p>\n
The Marlins have next week off before traveling to the Ottawa YMCA on Saturday, February 22.<\/p>\n
