A few days after finishing second at the MAIS Overall state meet, the St. Aloysius swim team returned to the pool with a strong encore performance.

The team of Tommy Martin, Adam Eckstein, Connor Clark and Jacob Waisner won the 200-yard freestyle relay and finished second in the 200 medley relay to lead the Flashes to a second-place team finish at the season-ending St. Joe Invitational Saturday in Madison.

The Flashes totaled 94 points, just 1 1/2 points ahead of third-place Madison-St. Joseph. Madison Central had 119 points to win the boys’ meet.

Eckstein posted two third-place individual finishes in the eight-team meet, in the 200-yard freestyle and 100 backstroke.

Clark was second in the 100 freestyle, with a time of 53.15 seconds, to head up a strong St. Al effort. The school had three of the top seven finishers in a field of 58 swimmers in that event. Martin finished fourth and Andrew Ulmer seventh.

St. Al finished fourth in the girls’ meet, with 51 points. Madison Central won with 172 points, and was followed by Madison-St. Joe (101) and Saint Andrews (94).
