Central's Joanna Taleno won two events and was part of two winning relays to lead the Tigers to the Show-Me Conference girls swimming title Thursday at Poplar Bluff.

Central finished with 437 points, and Notre Dame finished second at 366.

"We didn't win every event but it took the whole team to win that," Central coach Dayna Powell said.

Taleno won the 50- and 100-yard freestyle events, and she joined Amy Bickings, Jessi Yarbro and Lindsey Smith in the first-place 200 medley and 200 free relay teams.

Emily Younghouse, Saxony Lutheran's lone swimmer, won both the 200 free and the 500 free. She set the conference record in the 500 free at 5:51.28.

Younghouse and Taleno were named the meet's outstanding swimmers.

Ashly Ducharme won the 200 individual medley, and Jordan Seabaugh won the 100 butterfly for Notre Dame. Both were part of the winning 400 free relay team, which included Mollie Messmer and Ashley Nenninger.

Central's Hannah Kinder (100 breast, 1:16.53) and Notre Dame's 400 free relay team (4:09.67) both set conference records.
