The Packers had to wait until their final meet to face off against an opponent in the pool as Austin finished in eighth place in the Section 1A Meet in Bud Higgins Pool Friday.

The Packers competed against Winona and Albert Lea in person as the 10-team meet was held in different locations as a virtual meet.

Austin senior Molly Sheehan had a huge night as she beat her previous best time of the year by over a second as she took first in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 25.01 seconds and she took two seconds off of her 100-yard breaststroke time to take second with a 1:10.31.
