Diving in her home pool for the final time, Lawrence High senior Ashley Ammann recorded one of her top scores of the season at the LHS triangular on Tuesday.

Ammann, who didn’t compete for the school’s swimming and diving team last season, won the event with 217.50 points on Senior Day. It set the tone for the Lions, who won 10 of the 12 events in the triangular and won the team title by 29 points over runner-up Washburn Rural.

Lawrence High senior diver Ashley Ammann competes as her LHS teammates look on Tuesday, April 19, 2016, at LHS.

“I probably won’t do this in college, so it’s like my last memories of doing this,” Ammann said. “So, it’s sad.”

The Lions won all three relays and picked up individual victories from freshmen Emily Guo (200 freestyle), Morgan Jones (200 individual medley and 100 butterfly), Maddie Dean (50 and 100 freestyle) and junior Mary Reed-Weston (100 breaststroke).

Ammann, who took 17th at state diving in 2014, said it took a bit of an adjustment when she returned to the pool this season. But now she has found her rhythm.

“I have a lot more dives than I did sophomore year,” Ammann said. “They are a lot more perfected. I’m getting better.”

LHS coach Kent McDonald added: “A lot of times you’ll see seniors get senioritis, and they just don’t do anything their senior year. To have her come back and compete, she’s doing really well. It really speaks a lot of her.”

Despite the team title, some of the Lions were disappointed with their times. Lawrence’s pool is notoriously slow, but, of course, swimmers want to see improvement throughout each meet.

“I was pretty far off my best times today, from what I was last week,” said freshman Jamie Abernathy, who tied for second in the 50 freestyle. “I know the faster times will come as the season goes on.”

Along with the event winners, freshman Jillian Wilson was runner-up in the 100 backstroke and 500 freestyle, juniors Kimberly Myers and Meredith Von Feldt tied for third in the 200 freestyle, freshman Brooke Wroten was fifth in the 50 freestyle, and junior Chandler Sells took second in the 100 freestyle.

“Tomorrow, the ones that are feeling bad about their times, I’ll try to tell them, ‘Well, we don’t usually get faster times here, but we get wins here,'” McDonald said. “That’s what is important.”

“We are doing really well, which is good,” Ammann added. “It’s nice to feel real accomplished and stuff this year. It’s exciting.”

The Lions will compete in a dual against Free State on Friday at Indoor Aquatic Center.

Team scores: Lawrence 277.5, Washburn Rural 248.5, Leavenworth 77.
