MALST Wins Third at State Meet

The Milbank Area Lions Swim Team took third place at the 2017 South Dakota Long Course Seasonal State Championship meet. The meet was held in Huron August 4-6.

MALST head coach Jodi Street said, “Our swimmers captured seven out of the 14 first place high point trophy honors.” The Sealions also set 11 new seasonal championship meet records, had 20 high point winners, and set 22 new MALST long course team records.

Setting new meet records for Milbank were Amaya Street in the girls 13-14 200 IM, 100, 200, 400, and 800 freestyle and the 100 and 200 breaststroke; Liam Street in the boys 7-8 200 freestyle, and Carter Gloe in the boys 9-10 50 and 100 backstroke and 200 freestyle.

William Karels was awarded the 2017 Seasonal Championship Male Coaches’ Award. One swimmer from all the teams is chosen for this award based on ability, leadership and sportsmanship throughout the summer.

“Will is a huge asset to our team and is always willing to come early to practice or stay late and he helps with setup and deck cleanup everyday,” stated Coach Jodi. “Not only does Will work hard in practice, but he supports swim team the entire year by participating in combined appeal drives, homecoming, lapathon, and assists with younger group practice. His passion for swimming and dedication to our team makes him very deserving of this award.”

The top eight in each age group were awarded High Point trophies. The Milbank honorees included: Jada Leigh Wellnitz (girls 6 & under), 2nd place; Logan Dexter (boys 6 & under), 1st place; Kennedi Sayler (girls 7-8), 4th place; Isabella Pauli (girls 7-8), 8th place; Liam Street (boys 7-8), 1st place; Jacob Overby (boys 7-8), 8th place; Aubrey Fraasch (girls 9-10), 1st place; Jacy Dexter (girls 9-10), 5th place; Carter Gloe (boys 9-10), 1st place; Maurina Street (girls 11-12), 1st place; Rylie Overby (girls 11-12), 3rd place; Hallie Schulte (girls 11-12), 5th place; Trey Gloe (boys 11-12), 5th place; Grant Van Peursem (boys 11-12), 8th place; Amaya Street (girls 13-14), 1st place; William Karels (boys 13-14), 7th place; Maddox Hanson (boys 13-14), 8th place; Elijah Fraasch (boys 15-16), 1st place; Presley Peschong (girls 17-19), 4th place; Clare VanDover (girls 17-19), 6th place.

Laney had her best meet of the season. Savanna swam personal best times in all of her events cutting 25.89 seconds off her 400 freestyle.”
