1st in 100 backstroke and 400 freestyle relay
The Tigers showed more depth but Red Wing won eight of 12 events to post a 94-90 win in a Missota Conference dual meet Thursday night at the Dodge Middle School pool.
"For a dual meet it was good," Tiger coach Ryan Hamen said. "A lot of our guys dropped some good times and are showing a lot of improvement in their stroke work.
"Red Wing has some very strong swimmers but lack depth in some areas. We are optimistic for our conference meet in hopes our depth will be our strength."

Holton also recorded a pair of second place finishes in the 200 individual medley and the 100 butterfly. Spencer Kabran was runner-up in the 100 breaststroke.
Cameron Molnar scored third place points in two events, the 200 medley and 100 backstroke.
