Park boys swim to pair of wins

Posted

Park swam to a pair of victories in boys swimming and diving last week, sinking White Bear Lake on Tuesday before swimming past visiting Irondale Thursday.

The two dual meet wins were Park’s second and third straight and pushed the Wolfpack to 4-2 in dual meets so far this season.

The Wolfpack dropped Irondale 97-75 at the Cottage Grove Middle School pool Thursday that wasn’t as close as the final score indicated. Park opted to swim exhibitions only in the last three events.

As it was, Park won two relays and six individual events.

Park’s 200-yard medley relay team of Mitchell LeMay, Tyson Kalinowski, Matt Glenna and Nathan LeMay finished first in a time of 1:47.12. The Wolfpack’s Nathan LeMay, Glenna, Mason Darling and Ethan Anderson triumphed in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:35.28.

Park’s Devin Schwartz won both the 200-yard freestyle (1:55.98) and the 100-yard freestyle in 52.19.

Anderson took the 200-yard IM in 2:13 flat. Glenna won the 50-yard freestyle in just 22.78. Carter Darling scored a victory in one-meter diving with a score of 116.25. Mitchell LeMay swam to a win in the 500-yard freestyle in 5:20.34.

In exhibition swims, Kalinowski took first in the 100yard backstroke in 1L03.78 and Glenna had a winning time of 1:10.98 in the 100-yard breaststroke. Park’s 400yard freestyle relay team of Jack Schweigert, Nathan Johnson, Mitchell LeMay and Schwartz posted a 3:38.12 effort.

Kalinowski won two freestyle races to pace the Park High boys swimming and diving team to a 102-78 victory at White Bear Lake Tuesday, Jan. 9.

Kalinowski finished first in the 200-yard freestyle in 1:54.09 and won the 100-yard freestyle in a time of 52.38.

Park’s relay teams also fared well. The 200-yard medley relay team of Schwartz, Johnson, Nathan LeMay and Glenna won in 1:45.94. The 200-yard freestyle relay foursome of Nathan LeMay, Schwartz, Mitchell LeMay and Glenna finished first in 1:34.01. Park’s 400-yard freestyle team of Nathan LeMay, Schwartz, Kalinowski and Glenna also had a fast time of 3:33.82 but swam the event as an exhibition.

Other Park winners were: Glenna in the 200-yard IM (2:10.71), Anderson in the 100-yard butterfly (1:00.78), Logan Schweigert in the 500-yard freestyle (5:30.98) and Johnson in the 100-yard backstroke (1:06.64).

Park is back in the pool in another home meet against Stillwater Thursday, Feb. 18, starting at 5:30 p.m.
