MST takes third at championship meet

The McMinnville Swim Team accumulated 1636.5 points in the championship meet held at the University of the South aquatic center recently, taking 3rd place in the event. MST finished behind the host team, Sewanee and Athens, Alabama.

Coach Todd Willmore was very pleased with the outcome of the meet.

‘Our swimmers did a fine job competing against the other eight teams in our league,’ he noted. ‘ I was especially proud of the 10-and-under age group, who were leading the meet by 30 points after completing the first half of the meet.’

Medals are given to the 1st through 6th places on individual events and to the top nine spots on relay events. In some events, as many as 40 to 45 people were competing, making medals tough to earn.
