This is my blog that follows swimming & diving in Winona MN and those Winonans that have left to swim elsewhere. Occasionally I will post items of info related to swimming & diving in general.

Winhawks look to keep young Tigers at bay!

The Winona Winhawk Boys Swimming & Diving Team (1-2, 1-2) travels to Albert Lea (0-6, 0-6) to see if they can continue their time shaving ways. The meet is a re-schedule of a weather cancellation back in early December.

The Winhawk Boys, while inexperienced and quickly learning, are well represented in the Junior and Senior classes. The Tiger’s season record on the other hand, may be exhibiting their lack of Seniors.  A roster about the same size as the Winhawks, the Tigers have no Seniors on their roster submitted to the MSHSL. They have a handful of Juniors and Sophomores and a slug of Freshman and 8th graders. As such, the Tigers work hard but have a very uphill battle each and every meet. In their recent meet with Faribault, the Falcons started swimming exhibition at 90-48 ending up at 90-88 for the meet.  The Winhawks should be able to stretch their boundaries and Coach Burt can have a chance to see what his guys can do in some off event swims.

I won’t so an event by event synopsis as it is very difficult to predict who will swim what from both benches.  

Winhawk fans head to Albert Lea and take in an interesting and exciting night of swimming. This is one meet where I can truly say anything can happen.
