Afterward, head coach David Montgomery talked about the importance of competing in a non-league meet.

“The kids really did well,” Coach David Montgomery said. “It’s not just to compete outside our league but to let the kids see the other swimming talent that is out there. That is one reason we host our invite this coming weekend, to let kids face some other competition and see how they fair against them.”

The Stingrays will host an invitational on Saturday, June 27, at the Eaton Community Pool.
