They don't call 'em Tigers for nuthin'

When prepping for the Albert Lea Tigers, one name comes to mind, Lindsey Horejsi.  AT last year's Class A State Championships she was 3rd in the 50 Free and is the All-Time State Record Holder (that means for both Class A and AA) in the 100 Breaststroke.

If that is all you prepare for, you will be in for a rough night. The Tigers are much deeper than that, and they are youthful as well. A number of 8^th graders, 9^th graders and sophomores are turning heads. Albert Lea was picked to finish in the top of the pack in the Big 9 this year. At 6-3 they have beaten Owatonna, Faribault and Century, fallen to Mankato West, JM and Mayo. They finished 4^th at the Section 1A True Team, behind Visitation (St. Paul) Faribault and Mankato West. 

If there are any chinks in the armor perhaps diving and maybe the sprints, but veteran Coach Jon Schmitz will very likely have the line-up shifted around to counter the Winhawks’ strengths. It should be a great meet!
