The Platteville/Lancaster girls’ swimming team closed out the dual meet portion of its 2012 schedule last week with three straight victories.
     On Tuesday the Hillmen closed out the Southern Lakes Conference season with a dominating 110–59 victory over Edgerton/Evansville.
     The Hillmen won nine of the 11 events, including all three relays.
     Platteville junior Maddie Kieler won the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 2:34.41. 
     Lancaster senior Claire Friederick won the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle with times of 25.79 seconds and 57.02 seconds respectively. 
     Lancaster junior Haley Wood won the 100 butterfly (1:10.79), Platteville sophomore Melanie Schaefer won the 500 freestyle (6:01.14) and fellow sophomore Elissa Bahr won the 100 breaststroke (1:19.25).
     The Hillmen finished the SLC regular season with a 3–5 record.
     Thursday night Platteville/Lancaster (6–6) scored a pair of non-conference victories on Senior Night.
     Led by senior standouts Friederick, Sarah Loring and Elisa Bilderback the Hillmen defeated La Crosse 100–63 and Rockford Christian 87–75.
     The Hillmen again swept the three relays with Loring swimming on all three.
     Bilderback, who finished second in the 50-yard freestyle, swam on the winning 200 medley relay (2:02.29) and the 200 freestyle relay (1:46.73).
     Friederick also swam on those two relays, while winning both the 50 free (25.56) and 100 free (57.42).
