Scouts see promise in young squad at Evanston Invite<br />

Lake Forest is in a rebuilding<br />
year, and coach<br />
Cindy Dell knows that.<br />
The Scouts took home<br />
15th place Saturday, Jan.<br />
6, during the 18-team<br />
Evanston Invite.<br />
“These are the top teams<br />
in the state and we’re really<br />
young,” Scouts coach Cindy<br />
Dell said. “With each<br />
meet that we participate in,<br />
we gain more confidence<br />
and more experience in our<br />
racing. We really had a nice<br />
day of racing for the most<br />
part.”<br />
Unfortunately for the<br />
young Scouts squad, the<br />
team did not finish in the<br />
top 6 in any individual<br />
events or relays. Despite<br />
not placing in the top 6<br />
in any events, Dell was<br />
pleased with the performance<br />
of a number of<br />
her swimmers including<br />
sophomore Luke Lanigan,<br />
junior Carlos Minetti and<br />
sophomore Peter Landis.<br />
She was also happy with<br />
Lake Forest’s performance<br />
in all three relays. Lanigan<br />
placed 20th in both the 200<br />
freestyle (1:52.05) and 500<br />
freestyle (5:07.28).<br />
“Luke Lanigan improved<br />
in both of his events (200<br />
free and 500 free),” Dell<br />
said. “He did a really nice<br />
job in that.”<br />
Landis placed 29th in the<br />
500 freestyle (5:29.05) and<br />
35th in the 200 freestyle<br />
(2:02.75).<br />
“We have Peter Landis<br />
who just moved up this<br />
year from (junior varsity)<br />
to varsity and he’s our No.<br />
2 200 free and 500 freestyler,”<br />
Dell said. “[Those are]<br />
new events for him across<br />
the board and he’s getting<br />
better at those.”<br />
Minetti placed 15th in<br />
the 50 freestyle (22.99) and<br />
21st in the 100 freestyle<br />
(51.27).<br />
“Carlos Minetti continues<br />
to sprint with reckless abandon<br />
and I’m really happy to<br />
see that,” Dell said.<br />
The Scouts placed 15th<br />
in the 200 medley relay<br />
(1:48.68) with seniors Will<br />
Paschke, Brandon Yip and<br />
Collin Robinson and freshman<br />
Torsten Borowski.<br />
Lake Forest took home<br />
14th place in the 200 freestyle<br />
relay (1:34.83) with<br />
Minetti, Robinson, Lanigan<br />
and sophomore Oliver<br />
Akintade. The Scouts<br />
placed 15th in the 400 freestyle<br />
relay (3:29.17) with<br />
Minetti, Paschke, Lanigan<br />
and Akintade.<br />
“Today all three of our<br />
relays did better than what<br />
they were seeded at, so that<br />
