Detroit Lakes and Park Rapids renewed their conference rivalry in swimming and diving with the Panthers handing the Lakers the first loss of the season 99.5-86.5 winning the meet in the last relay Thursday at the DLCCC Aquatic Center.
“A great effort by the team,” head coach Carol McCarthy said. “We always look forward to swimming against Park Rapids because they always come with good, old-fashion rivalry. It doesn't matter what kind of season either of us is having, it's about racing--and we have lots of time drops in the end.”
Detroit Lakes came into the meet undefeated in seven meets, including a win at Park Rapids by 20 points on Sept. 1. That has been the only close meet until Thursday.
“We needed this meet right now,” McCarthy said. “The girls have been working hard and it's paying off--two weeks left. We've been fortunate, for the most part, to make it this far. We have had a few kids in that virus-test purgatory but hopefully we can get them back in time to wrap up at sections.”
DL’s top events Thursday were in diving and the breaststroke.

Ellie Hultin scored 159.15 points to place first on the board, followed by Hope Hamm (152.60). Park Rapids Brielle Krabbenhoft and DL’s Ava Funk tied with 146.45, accounting for the half-point in the team scores.
Madi Gerdes (1:12.11), Lexi Gerdes (1:13.57) and Ellie Staley (1:16.91) swept the breaststroke.
Kaitlyn Peterson (2:03.07) and Faith Hamm (2:04.04) had the top two 200-free times. Peterson won again in the 500-free (5:41.87). Faith Hamm won the 100-free in 55.95.
Lexi Gerdes placed first in the individual medley (2:24.40).
Park Rapids had the top three 50-free times and top two times in the fly, while sweeping all three relays.
The Panthers outscored DL 10-4 with first and third places in the final event, the 400-free, after leading 89.5-82.5 coming into the 400 to seal the team victory.
DL competes at Fosston next Tuesday, Oct. 13. Sections will be held in pods with DL hosting two other teams Oct. 24.
