The Detroit Lakes swimming and diving team has looked up the podium often at the seven-time defending champion Bemidji Lumberjacks, including a runner-up finish by only nine points in 2017, but the Lakers broke through and changed that fortune in record-breaking fashion Saturday, Nov. 10 claiming the Section 8A team championship in Warroad by a margin of 37 points.

“Wow! It was so fun to see the girls take charge and swim breakout races,” DL head coach Carol Fischer said. “The girls earned every race, podium moment and the section title. Truly, a team effort right down to the last two events, really. The Lakers were hungry for a sweet victory - to do that we had to get as many Lakers into finals as we could, which meant some had to swim and dive out of their minds to achieve this goal.”

The Lakers had three dominating performances grabbing the top three breaststroke finishes and the top two finishes in the butterfly and 500-freestyle.

“Those were the frosting on the cake but the batter was the other top 16 finishes,” Fischer said.
