The state prelims were held on Friday at the UofM Aquatics Center. Each of the Monte kids moved on to the Saturday events. Tyler took 1st in his heat for the Beaststroke event. He shaved two seconds off of his previous time. However, he eventually was beaten out by the other heats after him. He missed qualifying for the Saturday breaststroke event by one place. He went from 33rd place to 17th place but they only take the top 16. The 16th place person got 102.35...Tyler got 102.43. He was very happy with his time though.
Tyler is pretty close to breaking the breaststroke school record. He's currently 2.4 seconds away from the school record. He reached his goal of 1:02 this year so it's very possible that he will break the school record next year. Once he sets his mind to something, he stays focused and gets very determined to reach his goals!
The 200 Medley Relay team placed 5th in the top 8 on Friday, broke their previous school record, and finished with a 140.34 to move onto the Saturday events. They took 4th place on Saturday and finished with a 139.43.
All the boys had determination to succeed and they dropped time all the way through. It was exciting to see! They represented Montevideo so well.
As a team, Montevideo placed 10th out of 35 teams that scored. Congratulations on a great season boys!
