“We had a fantastic first meet in Detroit Lakes against some powerhouses in our section,” remarked Fergus Falls Head Coach Joyce Monk.  “This meet gives us an opportunity to see what we have as a team coming into the new season.  Although the meet format is totally different than a sanctioned meet, it’s fun, it’s quick and it’s a great way to kick off the season.  We were extremely pleased with our performances.  Nearly 100% improved their times and that’s always a win for us.  The team has been training for 2 weeks and have proven to be very hard working with great attitudes.”
