The Greenfield/Greendale/Wisconsin Lutheran boys swim team delivered a dominant performance in their December 17 dual meet, topping Brown Deer/University School by a commanding 114–55 margin. From the opening relay to the final touch, the Hawks co-op showcased depth, speed, and strong relay chemistry to secure the victory.
Relay Power Sets the Tone
The meet opened with a statement win in the 200 Medley Relay, where the team of Gabe Hernandez, Ben Hernandez, Nehemiah Li, and Oscar Menieta clocked a 1:56.03. They followed that with key first-place finishes in both the 200 Freestyle Relay (1:47.56) and 400 Freestyle Relay (4:28.22), gaining valuable points and momentum.

-
Gabe Hernandez controlled both the 100 Butterfly (56.06) and 100 Backstroke (55.95).
-
Ben Hernandez posted wins in the 200 IM (2:15.15) and 100 Breaststroke (1:10.57).

Depth That Makes the Difference
While first-place finishes were plentiful, it was the team's lineup depth that truly separated them. JV contributions, B-relay scoring, and consistent second- and third-place finishes across multiple events helped the Hawks build and maintain their lead—ultimately resulting in the 59-point victory margin.
A Program on the Rise
With continued time drops, strong underclassman performances, and reliable leadership from returning swimmers, the Greenfield/Greendale/Wisconsin Lutheran co-op is primed for a strong push into holiday training and the mid-season schedule.
This 114–55 win reflects not only their strength in the pool, but also the dedication and teamwork fueling the program's growth.
Congratulations to the athletes, coaching staff, and supporters—another outstanding showing!
