going to be hard and we fought. I’m really proud and blessed to be on this team.”

NCMP won three of the 11 events, took second in six and third in nine. Two school records were broken, both of which involved sophomore Hannah Scotton. She re-broke her own year-old 100 butterfly record, winning the event in 1 minute, 8.17 seconds. It topped her old mark by .16 seconds. She also was part of the 200 freestyle relay team along with freshman Samantha Hedrick, sophomore Sara Martin and junior Carly Colville, which took second in 1:55.33 and re-broke its own record it set on Sept. 28 (1:55.49).

“She is a very intuitive athlete,” Patterson said of Scotton. “She gets very fired up. She’s one of many on the team that when a big occasion or high-pressure situation comes up, she handles and excels. You always look for that in an athlete.”
