2009 season off to a great start

Entering the 5th week of the season, all looks good for the Crusader Swimming and Diving team.

After a strong finish at the Apollo Relay meet, the Crusaders carried that momentum into their next meets:

• At Albany Dual had the Crusaders coming out with a good win to give them a 1-0 record in the West Central Conference.
• At the Sartell/Monticello Tri, CHS/SJP took 3rd, but had many strong performances.
• The Montevideo/Perham double dual gave the Crusaders a double win. The Montevideo win puts the Crusaders at 2-0 in the Conference.
• The Sauk Rapids dual was a close meet that ended up going to Sauk Rapids. Again, many good performances! The Crusaders learned a lot from the meet, including to never give up as they made up a lot of ground throughout the second half of the meet.

There were a total of 6 teams that attended the relay meet. Sartell finished 1st and Apollo was 3rd with 74 points. Great job by all participants!
