MANISTIQUE — The Gladstone swim team split against Manistique here Tuesday in a makeup meet as the girls won 84-48 and the boys fell 72-44.

“The Braves did very well tonight, especially the girls team,” Braves coach Tom Desy said. “It’s great to see that the swimmers are trending in the right direction, with many of their times near or better than their best times.”

Three Braves’ girls took two first-places apiece with Emily Marenger winning the 200 and 500 freestyle and Isabella Houseman winning the 100 backstroke and 100 free.

“Emily had an exceptional meet, qualifying for U.P. finals with a best time in the 200 freestyle and taking almost 10 seconds off her 500 freestyle,” Desy said.

Lydia Tembreull also had wins in 100 breaststroke and 100 butterfly.

Alexis Marenger added a win in 50 free, and Megan Fritz won the 200 individual medley.

On the boys side, Alex Williams won the 200 IM and took second in 100 back. Levi Seaman won the 100 breaststroke and took third in 50 free. Camden Griggs took third in 200 free.
