  DAVENPORT — The Tipton Tiger swimming team started the season 5-0 in dual meets. That win streak came to an end though on Monday, September 17 when Tipton traveled to Davenport to compete against Davenport Central. There, the Tigers would take their first loss of the season 103 to 67 to fall to 5-1 in six dual meets. The Tigers swam at Fairfield on Monday, but results were not available at presstime. Tipton will be back in the pool at home when the Tigers host Davenport North.

  Tipton won two events at the meet, both individual events. Britney Ford won the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:15.48 and Rhyan Hoefler won the 500-yard freestyle in a time of 5:45.27. Ford has won the 100-yard breaststroke five times in six races so far this season. Hoefler has won the 500-yard freestyle event twice this season.

  Five Tiger events had runner-up finishes at the meet. Tipton sophomore Zoe Stonebraker claimed two of those runner-up finishes. Stonebraker was second in the 200-yard freestyle in 2:11.11. It was the first time she has swam that event at a meet this season and her time is the second fastest in the event for THS in the event this season. Stonebraker also was second in the 100-yard freestyle in 1:00.98. Ford was second in the 200-IM in 2:39.93, Maddie Swick was second in the 100-yard butterfly in 1:04.64 and Ali Anderson was second in the 100-yard backstroke in 1:11.87. Swick’s time in the butterfly was a season best.

  In relay events, Tipton placed second in each of the three relay events. The Tigers 200-yard individual medley relay team of Ali Anderson, Britney Ford, Maddie Swick and Rhyan Hoefler finished as runners-up in 2:02.15. The time was just under 1-second slower than the winning time of 2:01.27 put up by Davenport Central.

  The Tigers 400-yard freestyle relay team of Hoefler, Anderson, Swick and Stonebraker were second in 4:11.63. The Tigers 200-yard freestyle relay team of Stonebraker, Anderson Swick and Hoefler were second in a time of 1:51.64.
