Osowski Sets New Winter Swim Record at Winter Championships

Savanna Osowski set a MALST winter swim record in the 100-meter butterfly event during the 18 & Under USA Swimming Winter Championships held in Sioux Falls from December 11-13. She also earned a significant time cut in the 50-meter freestyle. 

Amaya Street also qualified for the meet.  She captured second-place finishes in the 200-meter breaststroke and the 200-meter freestyle.  She also recorded three personal best swims.  

Coach Jodi Street said, “This was a small meet due to qualifying time standards, but competition was the best in the state and also included swimmers from Utah and Iowa that we have never competed against.”

Both swimmers had kicked off their year-round season at the 2020 Candy Cane meet in Watertown December 5-6. They each swam eight state-qualifying events.

MALST head coach Jodi Street said,  “Due to Covid restrictions, age groups were split into three brackets making the events fairly close together in the 15 and older age group. Both girls swam really well, and we used it as training to prepare for the winter championships meet.
