MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MINN. - The University of Sioux Falls swim team dominated their midseason meet with a 1st place, 915-point, finish.
"We're very proud of the way we performed over the weekend," stated head coach Rickey Perkins. "There are very few teams that have won a multi-day invite without diving. It was such a great experience for the team to overcome not having diving. As a team, we performed great this weekend, and I am excited to see what we can do the remainder of the season."
The Cougars were lights out this weekend with 11 first place finishes, 10 second place finishes and just two third place finishes. Sophomore Phini Schneider landed three first place finishes over the three-day event, while senior Inte Pas tallied two and Charlotte Gibbs led in individual points.
