The 2005 200 Medley Relay team of Andrea Boritzke, Maggie Zblewski, Katie Eschenburg and Nicole Landisch held the WIAA State Record of 1:42.71 until 2019.
Coach Jenkyns notes “Maggie was one of the sweetest swimmers you could ever meet. She was one of the fiercest competitors in the pool though! She never ever let a challenge defeat her. She constantly rose to the challenge and fought tremendously to be successful – in whatever she did. She was another swimmer on those four state teams who put the team first and did whatever she could to help the team, and her teammates, be successful. She always had a smile on her face and was always there to be a positive influence on her teammates!”
