The visiting Lady Panthers were no match for the host Raiders in a NLC meet held Saturday, Dec. 19.

Conference powerhouse Northridge earned blue ribbons in all 12 events, along with 11 of the second place finishes, as well. The Raiders also used their roster depth to earn additional points in many of the contested races.

NorthWood sophomore Elle Roberts did place second in the 50 freestyle, only .21 seconds behind her Raider counterpart.

Although the rosters were a little closer in depth, the Raiders boys nearly doubled up their Panther counterparts.

NorthWood’s only event victory came off the diving board, with senior Nick Jones placing first with a six-dive total of 182.10. Panther teammate Kaleb Eberle placed second at 150.65.

Second place finishes for NorthWood included Joe Hahn in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke, as well as Kane Bellman in the 100 yard fly. Additionally, the 200 medley relay team of Wyatt Petrie, Lucas Warren, Skee Mishler and Hahn, and the 200 freestyle relay quartet of Karson Kirby, Mishler, Petrie and Hahn, both finished in second place.
