Yoder, Boen, Schaeffer and sophomore Alex King were also winners in the 400-yard freestyle relay, clocking in at 3:18.15.

Then in the 200-yard individual medley, Yoder gave his club its second win of the day as he outlasted highly accomplished Williston sophomore Kolden Kringen with a second-team all-state time of 2:00.71. It would be the first of two wins on the day for Yoder who claimed his second victory in the 100-yard backstroke with a first-place all-state time of 54.55 seconds.

In the 50-yard freestyle, it was King who paced the field with a time of 22.58 seconds.

A trio of Magicians also grabbed the top three spots in both the 100-yard butterfly and the 100-yard free. While Reinke (57.28), Bartsch (57.36) and Boen (58.81) earned the best three times in the butterfly, it was Schaeffer (49.48), Alex Prestwich (53.73), Tristen Leys (55.17) who represented the Magi as the top swimmers in the freestyle event.
