They took second, losing only to Midland Dow who dominated the meet with a score of 660 compared to FHC’s 450. The Rangers continue to look good overall, with their separation from Forest Hills Northern/Eastern paying off; this meet extended an undefeated season versus the Rangers’ former teammates.

Senior CJ Hier, sophomore Benji Zorn, junior Avery LeTourneau, and senior Dani Ahmetovic took first in the 200-yard medley relay with their time of 1:42.84.

Avery won the 500-yard freestyle race by almost 18 seconds with his time of 5:00.67. The 200-yard freestyle relay was not as successful, with Benji, Dani, Francesco, and Kyle taking fourth with their time of 1:39.46. Sophomore Aden Pomeroy then took 15th in the 100-yard backstroke with his time of 1:15.15.

This meet was successful, with the Rangers only losing to Midland Dow, who has been a thorn in their side all season and once again beat Forest Hills Northern/Eastern. The next meet will be a dual meet versus Grand Rapids Christian. This will be their first dual meet of the year and the first time the Rangers have faced off against Grand Rapids Christian, so the results are unpredictable; although, the Rangers have been successful this year.
