The state-ranked Lakers hosted the Coastal Swim Conference meet at the Spring Lake Aquatic Fitness Center.

MCC/NM head coach Mick Homan said despite the loss his team worked hard.

“After a tough week of training,” said Homan, “it was nice to see the girls dig deep to swim well despite being extremely sore and tired.”

The MCC/NM co-op team swam to 22 personal records, while the squad’s 200 medley relay and 400 free relay meet the Michigan Interscholastic Swim Coaches Association (MISCA) cut standard.

The two teams meet again this Saturday, Sept. 21 at the Spring Lake Invite.
