Door County Masters Swimmers Place in Appleton Meet

Four Sturgeon Bay Masters Swimmers produced a total of 10 top-three finishes at the recent Badger State Games held in Appleton.

Mike Ziniel and Bella Sandor placed first in three events each, with Sandor posting a National #1 time in the 100-meter breaststroke.

The meet featured two new members to the squad. Tom Thomas, a former collegiate individual medley swimmer, returned to the competitive pool after 43 years and a knee replacement. Now focused on distance freestyle, Thomas won the 800 meters. Sarah Latourneau won second place in breaststroke and freestyle.

Door County YMCA Masters is taking some time off for the summer and will start up again after Labor Day. There are still swimmers who meet at 3:15 pm.
