The relays proved to be the meet changer when the 200 medley relay team of Eric Peterson, Logan Tung, Welle, and Carter Holm touched out Brainerd by .4 seconds for the win and then turned around and did it again in the 200 freestyle relay of Welle, Tung, Erik Reineke, and Holm by .05 seconds. Carter Holm needs to keep his fingernails long with these finishes.

Also instrumental in the win were victories by Anthony Hoyt in the 200 and 500 freestyles, Welle in the 50 freestyle, Holm in the 100 freestyle, Eric Peterson in the backstroke and Tung in the breaststroke.

The 400 freestyle relay of Hoyt, Peterson, Cooper Running and Reineke sealed up the score with a win. The depth of the team was evident with Reineke's third in the 200 and the 100 freestyle, Tung's third in the IM, Runnings fourth in the IM and third in the 500 freestyle, Holm's second in the 50, Peterson's fourth in the butterfly, Mark Meece's fourth in the 100 backstroke kept the pressure on Brainerd throughout the meet.

Another major impact, once again, was the diving crew. Kyler Kavanagh came away with a win, Caden Kavanagh placed second, and Keaton Snitker placed fifth, lifting the score at the mid-point of the meet further out of reach for Brainerd. Congratulations to Eli Biggers and Luke Christenson for qualifying for the section meet in the 500 freestyle!

Next up for the Cardinal Swimmers and Divers is a home meet with St. Cloud Apollo next Thursday at 6:00 PM.
