The Andalusia Stingrays accumulated 71 first place finishes Saturday in their home meet at Cooper Pool.

ASL swimmers also posted 33 personal best times at the meet, where several weren’t satisfied with their times that they swam, 11 and up coach Gavin Donaldson said.

“The team competed well,” he said. “With two meets back-to-back, I was not expecting a huge jump with only three practices between the two meets.”

Andalusia competed in its first meet with other teams on June 1 in Troy.

ASL will return to Troy this Saturday for another meet against Dothan, Eufaula and Troy. Warm ups for Troy, Eufaula and Dothan are at 9 a.m. Andalusia’s warm ups are at 9:30 a.m. The meet starts at 10 a.m.
