Lion swimmers heading to state finals
By John Mueller
SPORTS WRITER
In a last-chance burst of determination, an additional South
Lyon relay team qualified for the
state finals this past weekend at
the Ann Arbor Huron River Rat
Invitational.
The 200 freestyle relay team of
Greg Sillence, Zack Kadykowski,
Chet Jankowski and Matt
Witkowski will be making the trip
to Ann Arbor this weekend for the
state finals being held at the
University of Michigan. These
four had previously qualified in
the 400 freestyle relay after a second-place performance at the
Kensington Valley Conference
meet held Feb. 25.
In addition to these two relay

for Palace trip
teams, Witkowski is heading to
the state finals as an individual,
having qualified to swim in the
200 freestyle and the 500
freestyle.
The top eight finishers per
event will earn medals this weekend.
South Lyon was one of the
smallest teams present at the
KVC meet, but the Lions held
their heads high and proudly represented themselves. Every
tapered swimmer on the team
dropped time, something that no
other team in the KVC can claim.
The squad had outstanding
swims from Witkowski, clearly
one of the most accomplished
swimmers in the KVC. He domi-
said. “They had great attitudes,
given the fact that we weren’t
winning much at the beginning of
the season and we faced some
challenges.”
Theoretically,
only one player
— senior Ryan
Marken — will
not be back on
next
season’s
South Lyon roster.
“I think we’ll be very competitive,” Clayton said of the 2006-07
Lions.
“Everybody is looking forward
to enhancing their games.”
Ann Arbor Pioneer defeated
Ann Arbor Huron by a score of
70-56 in Monday’s 7 p.m. game;
Pioneer and Dexter were to have
played against Pinckney and
Saline in last Wednesday’s semifinals games before tomorrow
night’s 7 p.m. district title showdown.
Back on Feb. 28, the Lions
played their last Kensington
Valley Conference game of the
season against Howell and came
up short, losing 46-44. A win
would have given the Lions a
share of second place in the final
“They had great
attitudes, given the
fact that we
weren’t winning
much at the
beginning of the
season and we
faced some
challenges.”

Zack Short led the Lions with
13 points in this contest, and
McMullen and Eric Wedesky each
contributed 11 points apiece.

doesn’t get real excited or real
nervous. Nerves can sometimes
get the best of anybody, but these
guys can handle anything.”
Caristo mentioned he’s happy
that he’ll have company at the
Palace.
“Alex is one of my best
friends,” he said. “It’s a lot better
that someone else is going, too.
“It’d be pretty lonely to be there
by yourself,” he added with a
chuckle.
Caristo and Chandler, a 171pounder, earned their trips to the
Palace by placing in the top four
spots at the individual regional
finals held at Charlotte High
School on Feb. 25. Both compiled
“It’s a lot better
that someone else
is going, too.”
