Grand Rapids claimed the Section 8A Girls Swimming and Diving Championship on Saturday with a team total of 535 points.  Runner-up honors went to Detroit Lakes with 364.  Park Rapids was third with 360 and Fergus Falls fourth with 231.  They were followed by Bemidji (230.5), Thief River Falls (125.5), Perham/New York Mills (119), Fosston-Bagley (85), Warroad/Roseau/Greenbush/Middle River (73) and Crookston (62).

 

 

“The Otters has a fabulous meet,” commented Head Coach Joyce Monk.  “As a team they dropped 112 seconds off their seed times.  This team has worked so hard all season long, and it showed up strong in Detroit Lakes today.  It’s unfortunate that due to Covid we will not be able to have a state meet.  If there was a state meet our medley relay placing 2nd would be competing this weekend.  Members of that relay were Emma Koeckeritz, Annie Mayer, Emilie Carlson and Lianna Jepson.   Also congratulations to Emilie Carlson who took home the gold in the 200 Individual Medley.”
