With a lot of experienced leaders and some home cooking, the Lindbergh girls swim team is hoping to find success in the water this season.

Thanks to some early season schedule shifting, Lindbergh has six home meets this year. The team has started the season 2-0 so far (results from Thursday’s meet against Hazen weren’t available by press time), beating Renton and Tyee.

“We’re just having a lot of fun and working hard,” said Lindbergh coach Roger Miron. “Hopefully we see a lot of times drop along the way.”

Miron said this team is by far the most experienced girls team he has had. Six of the 23 swimmers are seniors.

Senior Stephanie Jacobsen is one of the Eagles’ more seasoned swimmers. She swam in the 50 (10th) and 100 (12th) freestyle races at districts last year and will be a key part of Lindbergh’s sprinting.

Karlie Pfluger will be Lindbergh’s other top sprinter. Pfluger also swam in the 50 and 100 freestyle at districts.

Senior Jenna Birley is entering her fourth varsity season and obviously brings a lot of mettle to the group.

Lindbergh’s top newcomer is Kennedy transfer Savannah Lemke. Lemke finished fourth in the 200 individual medley and was part of Kennedy’s fourth-place 200 freestyle relay team at the Seamount League championships last season for Kennedy. She swam in the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke at districts, placing ninth in the 200 and seventh in the 100.

Other district swimmers from last season: Elizabeth Lamb swam in the 100 butterfly. Sophomore Lauren Miller swam in the 100 breaststroke.

The Eagles’ entire 200 freestyle relay team that place 10th is back this season. Pfluger, Jacobsen, Lauren Sauve and Birley made up the group.

Jacobsen, Sauve and Pfluger also swam on Lindbergh’s 400 freestyle relay that placed 12th.

Lindbergh finished 14th at the meet, behind fellow Seamount groups Kennedy (first), Mount Rainier (second), Hazen (third) and Highline (eighth).

Sophomore Amanda Miller will dive for the team.

Miron guessed his team would battle for fourth place in the Seamount.

“Highline and I always have a good meet that usually determines the fourth place team,” he said. “Our goal is a winning record and to qualify as many girls for districts as possible.”
