When Neuqua Valley's Chelsea Reczek gets in the pool on Thursday night for the second-seeded Wildcats in a sectional quarterfinal against St. Charles North, she will do so with a broken finger.
Reczek told The Heat Index that she broke the middle finger of her left hand during the Stevenson Co-ed tournament last weekend. The fracture is on the side of the finger between the second and third knuckle.
Despite her finger being in a metal splint and spending a lot of time with an ice pack, Reczek was all smiles about her prognosis.
"It's not my dominant hand, so I'm not worried about it," Reczek said on Wednesday night.
The right-handed Reczek said the swelling on her finger has reduced drastically. She said she didn't expect the fracture to be an issue on Thursday.
"Just tape it up," she said.
