Swimming: Raiders score big win over Royals
For 17 years, the Hastings boys swim team has been coached by Gerry Rupp.
Going into this season, his team had defeated Woodbury just once.
So, forgive Rupp if he’s especially happy this week. Hastings beat Woodbury last week, 86-79, in a meet that wasn’t nearly as close as the score would indicate.

Swimming: Raiders take 2nd at sections
Had last week’s section swimming and diving meet been just the section swimming meet, the Hastings Raiders would be your section champions.
Alas, diving is included. And, due to a pool that is too shallow to permit a diving program, Hastings surrendered 63 points to Woodbury. Those 63 points sure came in handy for the Royals, who ended up beating Hastings by 44 points.

Swimming: Balance, depth aid Raiders in win
A big indicator for how a high school swimming meet will go is the first event, the 200 medley relay. If one team can have its swimmers place first and second in the race, you can pretty much bet that team will win.
Placing first and second in that event shows your team has depth in all four strokes.
