“We did not put our strongest team out there today,” coach Mike Allbaugh said following the meet. “We are plagued with injury and are trying to get healthy. The team is working very hard and we want to be 100 percent ready for the tournament. Meyer looked very strong today and is now ranked eighth in Division 3 in the state. I look for him to continue to get stronger.”
