Memorial powers to Parker Invite title

Perennial state powerhouse Madison Memorial won the Parker Relays in high school boys swimming here Saturday, but the Lake Geneva Badger/Walworth Big Foot co-op team made the biggest splash.

The Badgers finished fourth overall in the 11-team field with 91 points, but they set the only record in winning 300-yard freestyle relay.

Memorial easily captured the team title with 147, while Middleton was second with 117. Janesville Craig was fifth with 88, and Parker was sixth with 86.

Led by University of Wisconsin recruit and Olympic hopeful Wes Lagerhausen, the Badgers won three races, including the 300 backstroke. Lagerhausen joined Nathan Kidder, Jayson O’Connor and Sam Michelove in swimming to a record-time of 2:39.63. The four also won the 400 medley and the 400 freestyle relay.

Craig’s top finishes were a third in the 200 medley and the 200 freestyle. Nick Hazekamp, Josh Terry, Sean Davis and Tyler Rockenfield swam on the 200 medley, while Rockenfield, Matt Enloe, Scott Fry and Tyler Teuscher were on the 200 freestyle relay.

Parker got a pair of fourth-place finishes from the 300 breaststroke and 400 freestyle relay teams.

“This meet features some of the best teams and swimmers in the state,” Parker coach Eric Rhodes said. “I was happy with the way we swam as a team today.

“We just missed medals in a couple of relays, and we’re still battling a couple of injuries.”
