MALST Competes at Brookings and Fargo

The Milbank Area Lions Swim Team competed in a three-day high point meet in Brookings, June 10-12. Ten of the team’s swimmers earned high point places.

“The swimmers did a great job. Milbank was only one of two summer teams participating in this meet,” explained head coach Jodi Street. “I was extremely proud of the swimmers on their places. To achieve a point, athletes must place in the top eight of an event. Overall points are totaled at the end of the meet.”

Earning high point placings were Liam Street, 5th (boys 8 and under); Jacob Overby, 8th (boys 8 and under); Maurina Street, 5th (girls 9-10); Rylie Overby, 7th (girls 9-10); Aubrey Fraasch, 17th (girls 9-10); Grant VanPeursem, 13th (boys 9-10); Amaya Street, 18th (girls 11-12); William Karels, 11th (boys 11-12); Brooke Fraasch, 17th (girls 15-16); and Presley Peschong, 7th (girls 17-19).

Four swimmers were named Swimmers of the Meet at Brookings. They were: Hope Karels, Emma DeBoer, Grant VanPeursem, and Jessica VanPeursem. “Both Hope and Jessica had major time cuts in multiple events which is a nice achievement in a long course pool, since we don’t swim in them often,” said Coach Street. “Grant had a very successful meet. He earned state qualifying times in the 50 and 100-meter backstroke races. Emma really showed dedication. She was the last swimmer from our team at the meet. She stayed to compete in the 200-meter breaststroke, in which she also cut time.”

MALST had two swimmers take part in the 2016 Under the Lights meet in Fargo, ND, last week. “Rylie and Jacob Overby both showed a good night of swimming,” Coach Street said.
Rylie took first place in the 50-meter fly and 100-meter freestyle and finished second in the 100-meter breaststroke. Jacob placed first in the 100-meter freestyle and third in the 50-meter backstroke and 50-meter freestyle. They were both named Swimmers of the Meet for that event.
MALST swimmers will be back in action Saturday, June 25, at the Britton Invitational.
