MIAA honors Albion swimmers

ALBION, Mich. – Anna Hargrove started the run up to the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association Championships by setting the Albion College pool record in the 200-yard freestyle in her final home meet last Friday, and that was enough for her to be named the league’s Athlete of the Week in women’s swimming & diving.   The senior from Milan, Mich., achieved a time of 1:55.10 as the Britons completed the dual meet portion of the season with a 119-60 victory over Olivet College. Her performance individually and with fellow seniors Lauren Pawelec, Haley DeFeyter and Claire Wittkowski in the 200 freestyle relay (Hargrove anchored the relay with a 24.33 split as Albion set a time of 1:44.98), bodes well for the league meet which begins Feb. 17.   “We raced Anna in a time trial this equivalent weekend last year, and she was right at the pool record, but it doesn't count in practice,” Albion Head Coach Jake Taber said. “It was nice to see her get that in an official meet setting.   “Anna is a senior and we've had a good track record with getting her to peak when it matters most,” Taber added. “I think that’s a swim she will build on…

A signature win

Northwest basketball team uses hot start to get past Lumen 49-39   By Mike Moore Staff Writer   Jackson – Erasing a 21-point second-half deficit back in December against Lumen Christi served as a sort of proof to Northwest coach Justin Brown that his guys could hang with the Titans on the basketball court, even if that game ended in a two-point loss.   Well, nearly two months later, there was no more sort of.   The proof was front and center.   The Mounties turned a 14-4 start to Friday night’s home contest with the Titans into a 49-39 victory that, for large portions of the game, didn’t even seem that close.   “This was good. It felt great,” Brown said afterwards. “I think, even more than for me or us, it’s so big for the school and for these players. We came out and played good basketball. We had guys play very good tonight, guys who maybe don’t always have this type of intensity. It shows how tough when can be when we play like this.”   With Lumen struggling to find any sort of rhythm on the offensive end, Northwest led 14-4 after the first quarter and…

Chance to get on track

Brown says his Northwest team embracing tonight’s chance to beat rival Lumen Christi   By Mike Moore Staff Writer   Jackson – The first time around, Justin Brown watched as his Northwest boys played “one of our worst two quarters of basketball.”   The result was a 21-point halftime deficit at Lumen Christi on Dec. 18.   The final two quarters that night, “were probably our best two of the season,” Brown added with a laugh regarding the game, where Northwest eventually tied the Titans late in the fourth before falling 58-56.   Well, nearly two months later the same two teams are set to meet, and Brown said his guys are embracing the opportunity to pull off what would be a pretty big upset.   The teams meet tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Northwest.   “We have to play 32 minutes,” Brown said when asked about the key for tonight. “We have to be ready to play a full game. “Execution is so important. We want to limit their best players and force some of their other guys to have to beat us. But I really think that second half in the first game proved to our guys how…
