Swimming: Dexter falls to state-champ Skyline in dual-meet (see WLD photo gallery)

Skyline hosted Dexter in a battle of programs that have competed with the elite in the state over the years, including the D-2 defending state champion Eagles. Both teams had strong performances all night long in a spirited and competitive SEC dual-meet.

But in the end, the short-handed Dreadnaughts just didn’t have enough depth to compete with talented and deep Skyline Eagles who flew off – or is that swam off – with a 131-64 win over the Dreadnaughts. It was only Dexter’s second loss of the season while Skyline’s only loss so far as been to defending D-1 state champion Pioneer.
