Heidi Busack competes in the 200 meter individual relay during the swim meet against the Moorhead Spuds Tuesday night.

The Fergus Falls Girls Swimming and Diving team made short work of the visiting Moorhead Spuds Tuesday afternoon, 107-74.

The Otters are now 2-0 on the season.

“I was very pleased by the racing of the team,” said Head Coach Tom Uvaas. “The kids swam great, and we’re pleased about starting out 2-0 on the season.”

Senior Kara Fisher had another good showing, finishing first in the 200 Freestyle, the 500 Freestyle and the 200 Medley Relay, with teammates Shannon Johnson, Sarah Monk and Heidi Busack.

Buack won the 200 Individual Medley, while Johnson won the 100 Butterfly. Suzie Kitzman won the 50 and 100 Freestyle and Abby Fisher won the 100 Backstroke.

The relay team of Talor Monk, Miranda Anderson, Shannon Johnson and Ariel Schuelke won the 200 Freestyle relay for the Otters.

Sarah Monk’s time of 1:11.85 in the 100 Breaststroke was what coach Uvaas called a state cut time, an excellent indicator of good things to come from the senior this season.

Uvaas also said that he experimented with several different line-ups Tuesday, giving swimmers the opportunity to compete in different events.

“I was pleased with the maturity level of our team,” he said. “It’s not always easy to introduce change, but the kids really took to it. This is a very talented Moorhead team. They’re very well coached.”
