Beloit is TEAM at Middleton Sectional

Beloit may of only finished 7th at the Middleton Sectional, but they were the Team everyone was watching. The Tide swam up to their expectations Saturday as the 200 Medley Relay and Christian Daniels qualified for the WIAA State Meet at the UW-Madison Natatorium next week.

Beloit crushed all of its seed times swimming 100% lifetime bests and placing swimmers in every event they swam in. Swimming in the Big 8 Conference and the Middleton Sectional every year brings the best out of Beloit in the Championship Season. There is no tougher swimming any where week in and week out, including Northern Illinois.

The Tide showed it strength in the skill events, entering no one in the 50 Free and only one swimmer in the 100 free. All four entries in the 200 IM scored points for the Tide, scoring 29 points. Two sophomore school records were set in the 100 Breast and 400 Free Relay.
