Swimming and diving: Cards fourth at True Team

Talk about it

The Melrose Dutchmen captured the Section 6A True Team swimming and diving meet in Alexandria Saturday, with the host Cardinals finishing fourth and the Minnewaska-Morris Gators eighth.

The Redbirds had seven top-eight finishes, including two each from Rosey Erickson and Sarah Sater.

Erickson was second in the 50 free with a time of 25.73 and seventh in the 100 fly in 1:08.83, while Sater was fourth in diving with a total of 281.80 and 10th in the 100 breaststroke in 1:18.29.

Others breaking into the topeight were Kalli Bowser, who was eighth in the 100 back in 1:09.73 and Megan Bristow, who was seventh in the 100 breaststroke in 1:17.14.

The 200 free relay team of Rachel Peterson, Sater, Bristow and Erickson combined for a seventh place showing.

The Cards also posted 16 season best times, two from Rachel Hansberry, Darbi Crowe and Bristow.

“Hansberry was on fire Saturday, as she dropped 9.6 seconds in her 500 free and 4.1 seconds in the 200 free,” said head coach Mark Storhaug.
