CLOQUET – Northeast Range High School’s standout swimmer Lily Tedrick just keeps shaving time off the clock. She broke her own record yet again this month, this time against Cloquet/Esko/Carlton at a dual meet last Thursday. The junior took first place in the 100 Butterfly event with a time of 1:06.90.
That broke her previous record of 1:08.00 set earlier this month at the Rock Ridge Triangular. Tedrick had set her previous personal best and Nighthawk team record in 2019 with a time of 1:08.17.
“Tedrick is having a great season,” said Coach Cheri Debeltz. “In fact, all the girls are doing very well.”
At the CEC dual meet on Oct. 14, Tedrick also won the 200 Individual Medley with a time of 2:30.81. Tedrick and the NER relay team of Anna Larson, Maggie Dammann and Morgan McClelland won the 200 Freestyle Relay in 1:56.15.
McClelland posted a second-place time of 6:34.11 in the 500 Freestyle. Tedrick, McClelland, Anna Larson and Alli Krekelberg finished the 400 Freestyle Relay in second place with a time of 4:22.37. CEC won the meet by a score of 119-48 points.
The Nighthawks competed in the True Team 7A Sections last Saturday in Duluth. “The cool thing about this meet is everyone who swims scores points for the team,” Debeltz said. NER finished tenth out of 11 teams with 800 points.
Tedrick posted a fifth-place finish in the 200 Individual Medley with a time of 2:33.09, and a sixth-place finish in the 100 Butterfly with a time of 1:09.94. Tedrick, McClelland, Larson and Kelly Thompson finished fourth in the 200 Freestyle Relay in 1:51.98. That same Nighthawks’ relay team posted a seventh-place finish in the 400 Freestyle Relay with a time of 4:08.69.
Northeast Range was scheduled to host International Falls on Tuesday, Oct. 19, and Chisholm on Tuesday, Oct. 26.
