Chaska splashed down in its season-opening meet against Bloomington Kennedy on Thursday at the Chaska Middle School East pool.

The Hawks had no problem handling the Eagles, coasting to a 96-28 victory.

The swimmers certainly did not coast in the individual and relay events, as the Hawks won each race, and swept many events with 1-2-3 finishes.

Sam Getty, Megan Knudson, Brooke Zhorne and Emma Gaulke-Janowski kicked off the meet with a victory in the 200 medley relay, finishing in 1 minute, 57.20 seconds.

Getty then won the 200 freestyle in 2:01.91, followed by teammates Lauren Johnson and Zhorne.

Gaulke-Janowski was way out in front to win the 200 individual medley, swimming 2:19.41.

Kacie Ryan made it four wins in a row with a 26.96 swim in the 50 freestyle.

Erin Sattervall scored 143.95 points to take second place in diving, followed by teammate Emily Stern and Sophie Cone. Zhorne then won the 100 butterfly in 1:05.65.

Gaulke-Janowski won comfortably in the 500 free, swimming 5:21.03 and Bailey, Ellwood, Malia Cone and Ryan teamed for a first-place swim in the 200 freestyle relay.

Getty then took first in the 100 backstroke with a time of 1:04.13 and Knudson won the 100 breaststroke in 1:13.19.

Chaska polished off the meet with a victory in the 400 free relay, as Johnson, Knudson, Bailey and Claire Standafer combined for a 4:06.59 finish.

Chaska hits the road for the next few meets, starting with a 6 p.m. dual tonight against Eastview, at Falcon Ridge Middle School in Apple Valley.

The Hawks then head to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Invitational, which gets under way at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. The Hawks then swim at Rosemount on Sept. 11, and hit the University of Minnesota Aquatic Center for the Eden Prairie Invitational on Sept. 13. The next home meet is Oct. 2 against Eden Prairie.
