Lane also recorded second place finishes in the 200 individual medley and the 100 backstroke. Holton took second in the 100 butterfly and Nick Stephan ranked second in the 100 breaststroke.

Aaron Cochnauer took third in the 100 butterfly and the 200 medley and Alex Garofalo scored third place points in the 100 breaststroke .

Monday the Tigers close the books on their dual meet season with a home contest with Rochester John Marshall at the Dodge Middle School pool. Next Saturday they travel to Northfield for the Missota Conference Championships.
