Senior Bobby Wolf capped his career with a ninth-place swim in the 500-yard freestyle at the WIAA State Meet on Saturday in Madison.
Wolf finished in 4 minutes, 46.14 seconds, approximately 15 seconds off the pace set by Madison Memorial senior Michael Drives. Wolf's teammate, freshman Patrick Walsh, was close behind in 4:48.78, good for 13th.
Wolf also swam 18th in the 200 free (1:47.42) and teamed with Walsh and juniors Ben Wierzba and Brian Roberts to take 21st in the 400 free relay.
Roberts also took 21st in the 100 free (50.06) for the Warriors, who finished 30th with 13 points.

Against the Knights, who snapped the Warriors' 25-league-game winning streak in January, Katie Ellerson dropped in a game-high 21 points and Alyssa Colla added 18, including three 3-pointers. Muskego took over in the second half by outscoring Oak Creek, 29-19.

Despite back-to-back season-low efforts from its leading scorer, the Vikings closed the regular season with a pair of victories and are still in the hunt for a share of the Woodland Conference Blue Division title.
Chad Mathwig scored just one point, but Jesse Riehle had a season-high 22 and Kyle Rampone (12) and Cody Tomsak (10) combined for another 22 as New Berlin West defeated visiting St. Thomas More, 55-48, in overtime Friday.
"They did a nice job on him, and we determined it was best to go to another person," Vikings coach Jeff Lewiston said. "It was a very good win for us."
Three nights earlier, Mathwig was limited to just nine, but he was one of six Vikings with six or more, including Tomsak's game-high 12, in a 60-32 victory at St. Francis.
West finished 16-6, 15-3 in conference, a half game behind Pewaukee in the Blue Division. The Pirates close the regular season against St. Thomas More on Thursday.
