Otters Finish 3rd at Section True Team Swim and Dive Meet
Fergus Falls recorded 963 points to claim third place at the Section True Team Boys Swimming and Diving meet in Alexandria on Saturday. Melrose/Sauk Centre won the event with 1290 points and Alexandria was the runner-up with a score of 1194.
“Great job by the Otters,” exclaimed Fergus Falls Head Coach Randy Hansen. “A 3rd place finish is a great accomplishment for the team. We had some awesome swims against tough section competition. Paced by 1st place finishes by Matthew Tuel and Reece Hansen and a 5 second time drop by the 400 free relay for 2nd place. Jaden Kwapinski and Landon Votava also were top 5 finishers. Adrian Blondeau scored an important 7th place in the 50 free and Ethan Strande and Logan Rott were a nice 3rd and 4th in the 100 Breast. All these places were important in a meet where every finisher scores points.”
The Otters next meet is at Brainerd on Thursday, January 18.
