Senior Brock Aune finished a stellar career by having a hand in 73 of the Clippers’ points. Aune placed third in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of :57.86, just 1.31 seconds behind winner Ben Ramminger from DeForest. Aune took 6th in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of :22.17. Less than a second separated the top six places.

Aune teamed up with Luke Bousley, Jacob Norton and Ethan Almstadt to place 8th in the 200-yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:30.36. Aune, Norton, Connor Thompson and Almstadt placed 8th in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:41.45.

“Overall though this season has been more about the team than myself,” Aune said. “We’ve accomplished some huge things that this team hasn’t done in years. I think we’re finally starting to build this program to a huge threat on the state level, and I’m glad to be part of this process.”

Sophomore Jacob Norton turned in a time of 1:01.85 to place 11th in the 100-yard breaststroke. Sophomore Drew Rass came in 13th place with a time of 1:02.45.
