Two McCook Bison divers medal at Twin Cities Invitational meet

SCOTTSBLUFF -- Matt Hall and Rebecca Rawlings received fifth and sixth place medals respectively at the Twin Cities Invitational in Scottsbluff on Friday.

Rawlings, in her first season of diving, has improved at each meet.

"She is doing a great job of learning the dives," sad Bison diving coach Jim Brandt. "She has a great work ethic."

McCook's Alyssa Cook placed eighth.

Madison Felker improved her 200 free time by four seconds and braved the 500 free with a 12th-place finish.

Elexa Kotschwar improved her 100 free time again this week by three seconds.

Katherine Thornsburry and Ozgun Ozguven improved their times in the 50 free by six seconds.

The boys 200 free relay team improved its time by seven seconds with the addition of Matt Carriker, who has been sidelined by injury and this was his first opportunity to compete.

The Bison swim team's next meet is Thursday at Kearney.

Divers will also compete at Lincoln Saturday.
