The Forest Lake boys swimming team was accepted into the elite Gold division for this year’s University of Minnesota Invitational, competing in a field that included the entirety of the top 10 from last year’s state championship meet. The Gold meet was the top flight of four, above Maroon, Bronze and Tiger, and is perhaps the deepest competition in the MSHSL swimming calendar outside of the state meet. The Rangers placed 11th out of 16 with 145 points.
Minnetonka took first with 660.5.broadstreet.zone(48036);
With 38 individual points, junior Ben Chatwin was the Rangers’ top point-scorer. Chatwin placed second in the 50 free (21.57) and sixth in the 100 butterfly (54.16). Senior distance ace Wyatt Thompson accounted for 28 points with his ninth-place finishes in the 200 (1:47.16) and 500 free (4:55.60). Senior Duncan Johnson scored 16 between the 100 free (ninth, 49.82) and 200 individual medley (19th, 2:05.14).
