CHISHOLM— Nighthawks swimmers claimed first place in eight of 11 events here on Tuesday, but the Bluestreaks dominated the second and third- place finishes to edge the ‘Hawks in points overall, 48-46.

The ‘Hawks dominated in the relay events, claiming two firsts and a second-place finish. Senior Brooke Pasmick, eighth-grader Abby Koivisto, sophomore Aili Bee, and freshman Morgan McClelland took first in the 400-yard relay, with a time of 4:20.59. Koivisto and McClelland joined freshman Lily Tedrick and classmate Cedar Ohlhauser for a first in the 160-yard relay with a time of 1:28.48, edging out Chisholm’s top team by just 0.17 of a second.

The story flipped in the 160-yard medley relay, as Pasmick, Ohlhauser, Tedrick, and Koivisto took second with a time of 1:40.44, just 0.17 seconds off the top-finishing pace.

Both Pasmick and Tedrick claimed first-place individual finishes in two events. Pasmick took first in the 60-yard freestyle, with a time of 33:07, and in the 100-yard backstroke, with a time of 1:08.23.

Tedrick took first in the 160-yard medley, with a time of 1:59.82, and in the 100-yard fly, with a time of 1:12.76.

Koivisto added an individual first in the 100-yard freestyle with a time of 1:02.14, while McClelland crushed the competition in the 500-yard freestyle with a time of 6:38.42. That beat Chisholm’s top finisher by nearly 20 seconds. McClelland also took second in the 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:29.07.

The ‘Hawks are set to compete in the Pumpkin Triangular meet next Tuesday at Mesabi East High School in Aurora.
