Lincoln Way East four-year veteran Braelyn Binkowski went into the Lincoln-Way Central Sectional not fully rested and with no high expectations.

However, with the help of the intense atmosphere from the crowd, she ended up dominating the competition.

Binkowski won the 100-yard butterfly and 100 backstroke and was part of winning teams in the 200 medley and 400 freestyle relays as the Griffins rolled to the team title with 315 points on Saturday, Nov. 16.
