The Tigers closed the books on their Missota Conference dual meet season with a lopsided 95-78 victory over New Prague Thursday night, Oct. 13, at the Dodge Middle School pool.
The winners won seven of the first eight events and finished runner-up in the same number to build such an enormous lead that they swam the final four contests in exhibition status.
The 200 medley relay team of Brooke Baker, Kaitlyn O'Reilly, Katie Aaron and Zoe Avestruz started the Tigers out with a victory and they kept it up, winning the next six swimming events.
The winners included Hannah Seitzinger in the 200 freestyle; Robin Ellis in the 200 individual medley; Abby Haugen in the 50 freestyle; O'Reilly in the 100 butterfly; Cora Ruzicka in the 100 freestyle and Avestruz in the 500 freestyle.
Second place points went to the 200 medley relay team of Ellie Sundet, Ashton DeFusco, Kirsten Kracke and Abby Kampa; Courtney L'Heureux, 200 freestyle; Sara Kintner, 200 individual medley; Sarah O'Reilly, 50 freestyle; Haugen, 100 freestyle; Ellis, 500 freestyle and Nikki Cayard, one-meter diving.
Five Tigers chipped in with third place finishes: Victoria Resch, 50 freestyle; Kendall Novak, diving; Kracke, 100 butterfly; L'Heureux, 500 freestyle and Chloe Holton, 100 freestyle.
Marshall is hoping the easy win will provide some momentum for her team as it prepares to defend its Section 1AA True Team title Saturday at the Dodge Middle School pool.
