  At Normal: Sam Nauman got rid of the stress of the sectional
• 0:24
  meet early Saturday.
• 0:26
  Nauman, along with teammates Anna Weitl, Finley Jobst and Dawsynn Kettman, qualified
• 0:31
  for the IHSA state meet in the first swimming event at the
• 0:34
  Normal Community Sectional, winning the 200-yard medley relay in 1:52.52.
• 0:40
  Nauman went on to qualify in two other events, winning the 200
• 0:44
  individual medley in 2:05.72 and the 100 backstroke in 54.83
• 0:50
  seconds.
• 0:52
  It’s super exciting, Nauman said. Having the relay qualify first was probably
• 0:56
  the best thing that could happen. Getting that off our plate, I
• 1:00
  was feeling a lot less stressed and I could go into the
• 1:02
  200 IM feeling better. Once the 200 IM was out of the
• 1:06
  way, the 100 backstroke was even better. The day went probably exactly
• 1:11
  how we wanted it to.
• 1:13
  Nauman is a state meet veteran, having qualified all four years in
• 1:17
  individual events, but she’ll have a new experience this year swimming with
• 1:21
  a relay at state, which is next weekend at the FMC Natatorium
• 1:25
  in Westmont.
• 1:26
  We’ve been pushing for that for a long time, Nauman said. We
• 1:29
  tried really hard last year, but it just didn’t happen. So having
• 1:32
  it happen this year is really exciting because our relay is three
• 1:36
  seniors Weitl, Jobst and Nauman and one sophomore Kettman. It’s really cool
• 1:41
  to go out with a bang.
• 1:43
  We’ve just really been putting in the work as a team. We’ve
• 1:46
  been dialing in on our relay exchanges. I think it truly is
• 1:49
  just us coming together as a team and really wanting it our
• 1:53
  senior year.
• 1:54
  Nauman, who finished fourth in the 100 backstroke and 10th in the
• 1:58
  200 IM at state last year, was pleased with her times Saturday.
• 2:03
  I was super excited with my times, Nauman said. My 200 IM
• 2:07
  is about where I want to be going into state. It’s good
• 2:10
  for seeding. My backstroke was actually a lifetime best, which once you
• 2:14
  start to get older in the swim world, you don’t typically go
• 2:17
  lifetime best untapered. At this point, I’m not fully tapered. I’ll be
• 2:22
  tapered at state, so I’m really excited with where my times were
• 2:25
  today and hope to perform even better at state.
• 2:29
  La Salle-Peru co-op finished second at the sectional with 220 points. Washington
• 2:34
  won with 287.

  I know I worked hard to get here and even though I

  able to accomplish, Judd said.
