In the final race of the meet, in front of a boisterous crowd, the Rochester Century 4x100 freestyle relay team edged out Rochester John Marshall by less than three-tenths of a second to give the Panthers a victory over the cross-town Rockets on Tuesday at the JM pool.
"It was very exciting," said Century head coach Dale Magnuson. "For my first meet as a head coach, for our first meet of the season, it was great."
Century sophomore Barret Myers won the 50-yard freestyle and 100-yard breaststroke, while sophomore Jenny Shaughnessy won the 200-yard freestyle and 100-yard backstroke for John Marshall.
Shaughnessy also set a new pool record in the backstroke with time of 1:01.46. It's the second pool record she has set in as many meets.
"She has been outstanding," said JM head coach Paul Bachman.
