Owatonna too powerful for Albert Lea girls’ swim team
Published 2:10 am Wednesday, September 30, 2009
Owatonna’s Elise O’Neill and Erica O’Neill were a powerful combination for the Huskies Tuesday in a 95-77 victory over the Albert Lea girls’ swimming and diving team in Albert Lea.
The O’Neill’s combined on two winning relay teams and each won an event on their own.
The Tigers didn’t come up with any victories in the meet but were strong in a number of events.
In the 200-yard freestyle, Amy Horejsi, Rachel Gould and Gracie Thomas finished 2-3-4, respectively.
In 1-meter diving Karli Kriewall suffered her first loss in a Big Nine meet this season when she scored 174.30 and Owatonna’s Samantha Kniefel scored 182.75.
The meet didn’t start well for Albert Lea as both relays were disqualified in the 200 medley relay.
The Tigers head to Austin Saturday for the Packer Invite.
Owatonna 95, Albert Lea 77
