The Milbank Area Lions Swim Team started their year-round season at the Mitchell Winter Invitational on Saturday and Sunday, November 16-17. Competing for Milbank were Amaya Street, Savanna Osowski, and Will Karels.

“This meet was much larger than last year with great competition from 11 teams and over 300 swimmers participating,” stated head coach Jodi Street. “I was very happy with our results and surprised that all three of our swimmers came out of the meet with at least one personal best swim.”

“It’s rare for an advanced swimmer to see a nice time cut on the first meet of the season,” added Coach Street. “Each of them also took on a new event — the 100-meter individual medley, which will be a state event at the short course State A championship.”

A. Street posted a state-qualifying time in all nine of her events. She dropped time in the 100-meter backstroke and placed second in the 400 IM, 200-meter freestyle, and 100-meter breaststroke. Osowski swam a state-qualifying time in all nine of her events and had time cuts in the 200-meter breastroke and 100-meter backstroke. Karels swam a state-qualifying time in the 50-meter freestyle and a personal best in the 100-meter butterfly.

Milbank will be back in action at the Watertown Candy Cane meet on December 6 – 8.
