Yup, pretty much right on ... Knutson just destroyed at the state meet, breaking three national high school records..

I think I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict the upset of Church over Knutson. You heard it here first.

blue steel you missed it by just a little bit, but you took a chance
go to swim world magazine morning show and watch the last half of wed the 20th of nov. show
very exciting about ND and knutson

Maggie Beck from Minot easily has the best shot at winning the 2 state titles this year. Her 100m backstroke is by far the best in the state of ND, and she is also impressive in the 200m. I give props out to Maggie and the Minot team for their swagger. They are hard workers.

I dont think so, Maggie is a good swimmer but by far not the best in the state. Her backstroke is not as good as people hype it up to be. Ill tell u who is the best swimmer in state, a guy by the name of Salomon Shangi. Not many people know about him but he will be makin some noise in competitive swimming this year.

An exchange student from Nigeria, not sure where he is going to school though, but he is one great swimmer
GOOD LUCK SALOMON

Salomon Shangi..... I have two words for you......O MY! This guy is electric in the pool. Move over Phelps cuz Salomon is about to break all the records.

I think im gunna have to agree with you guys there. I've seen this guy swim and he is pretty much amazing!

Watch out for joey rasmus from fargo south. i heard it was his 1st year and he made it to state his 1st year. he is very athletic

also be aware of Chris Beyer from FSH. he just moved here about a month ago from like illinois and he was supposedly one of the best in the state of illinois...

who is the best guy swimmers?

The trio of Dan Hulbert, Alan Repak, and Ethan Doll from West Fargo are going to be dominant.

but who from the west?

who would be the best swimmer from fargo north?

west fargo only has long distane events on lock, wait for souths joey rasmus and jake reopelle to take over the rest of the field.

can we throw divers in this topic? because south has a solid diver i heard in sam breen

Dont forget about Chris Beyer

k best guy swimmer all around goes to ian ballantyne...him and the "west fargo trio.." and norths obi obembe sean rider, and Willistons Ben bolinske will be the future of north dakota swimming.

I thought North's rely team did good this year at state and took 2nd, i was a little shocked to see that. but nice job

i would have to agree with most of that. ballantyne and obembe are very close match-ups. fargo north should be pretty good with their 200 free relay taking 2nd at state will have 3 out of their 4 swimmers back this year from that relay

chris koppinger is easily the best swimmer in the wda, probably even the state. i have perfect faith in my boy that he will take state by storm along with the other century patriot swimmers

What about Collin Kemmesat?

The Century team has some fire. The Sether brothers, Cataldo Didonna, and Collin Kemmesat
