The McMinnville Swim Team defeated Marshall County in their tri-meet last Tuesday at Shelbyville, but finished second to the home team with their 447-point total.

Coach Todd Willmore said the team score from the Shelbyville Recreation Center pool was terrific for his squad, who as individuals knocked several seconds off of their seeded times from their recent mock meet. He also noted Shelbyville is one of the tougher teams to compete against, since their swimmers practice year-round.

McMinnville came in 2nd in most relay events and had one first place win in the 100 meter freestyle relay in the 15-18 year-old group. The team will play host to its next two meets here at the Gilley Pool on Saturday morning, July 2 at 10 a.m., and Tuesday, July 5 at 5 p.m.
