Talk about it

Rosey Erickson in the 100 butterfly, the 200 medley relay and the 400 free relay were the only first place finishes for the Cardinal swimming and diving team, which closed out its regular season Thursday with a 99-84 loss to Little Falls.

“There were several bright spots during the evening, however,” said Cardinal head coach Mark Storhaug of his team’s loss. “The Cards posted seven season bests, two coming from Ashley Rabehl, who was 1.5 seconds better in the 50 free and cut two seconds in the 100 breaststroke.

“Other noteworthy improvements were Marit Aaseng, who sliced two seconds in the 200 IM, Ellen Halvorson shaved 1.5 seconds in the 50 free, Zoe Weltzin was 1.5 seconds better in the 100 fly and Mackenzie Meier cut 1.5 seconds in the 100 free.”
