Parkway South 142, Cape Central 46

Parkway South, state champions the past three years, handed Cape Central its second dual-meet loss.

It was the inexperienced Tigers second straight meet against a top-ranked state swimming program. Lafayette, seventh in state in 2000, was Cape Central's first opponent.

"We knew it was going to be tough," said Cape Central coach Dayna Powell, "so our goal was to score in the 40s after getting 36 against Lafayette. We improved our times and I was very pleased with the kids' attitudes."

Cecil Quinn earned the only first place for the Tigers as he won the diving competition.
