Sauk Rapids-Rice won their Central Lakes Conference Dual Swimming and Diving meet with Fergus Falls on Thursday night, 94-88.

“Good competitive meet tonight,” said Fergus Falls Head Coach Randy Hansen.  “To be that close to a victory on the road against a talented Sauk Rapids team is a great achievement for the boys.  Kudos to Will Nuss for landing some of his most difficult dives yet.  He has worked especially hard the last few weeks and has put together a nice set of dives.”

“We had quite a few guys swim new events tonight which was a nice change for them,” added Coach Hansen.  “Ethan Strande swam a great 200 IM just beating the guy next to him.  He also swam his season best time in the 500 free.  I also thought Tyler Kubela dropped some significant time in his 200 free, which is an off event for him.  Micah Zosel swam a very nice 50 and 100 free and Reece Hansen is close to breaking 1:03 in his 100 backstroke.”

The Otters have two home meets next week.  Tuesday vs. St. Cloud Apollo and Thursday vs. Sartell.  Thursday is senior night and their last home meet of the year.
