Winhawk swimmers top Faribault, Owatonna (1/27/2021)
The Winhawk Boys Swim and Dive had a great week of meets, winning against both Faribault on Tuesday, 82-61, and against Owatonna on Thursday, 96-81. The team moves to 2-1 for the season in dual meets. Tuesday’s meet versus Faribault was a virtual meet and Thursday’s with Owatonna meet was in-person.
This was a great week where we saw good practice habits showing up in meets. For the first two weeks, we had been working hard on building endurance since not many athletes have been active since November. Now that the guys have some endurance under their belt, this week the practices and meets have been focused on good habits such as turn work, streamlines, and good stroke length. I’m happy to say that the guys have made great improvements, and their times and placing reflect that.
