BABBITT – The Northeast Range High School girls varsity swim team tallied two consecutive wins late last week. On Thursday, Sept. 24, the Nighthawks traveled to Chisholm and came away with a 48-39 victory for their first win of the season. They followed that with a home win Saturday afternoon against Cloquet.
“These were very exciting meets for the team,” Coach Cheri Debeltz said. “We were tied going into the last varsity event (against Chisholm), so whoever won that event won the meet.”
That event, the 400 freestyle relay, put NER/Ely swimmers Lily Tedrick, Morgan McClelland. Cedar Ohlhauser and Kelly Thompson on the podium with a time of 4:10.76. The Nighthawks’ second team in that event, with swimmers Anna Larson Alice Wolter, Esther Anderson and Lauren Olson, took the silver with a time of 4:46.38.
“We are so proud and pleased with the team and how well they are swimming,” Debeltz said. 
Other first-place finishes for the Nighthawks against Chisholm included: 200 freestyle, Morgan McClelland, 2:20.29, 100 butterfly, Lily Tedrick, 1:09.86, 500 freeestyle, Morgan McClelland, 6:25.00, and 160 freestyle relay, Lily Tedrick, Morgan McClelland, Anna Larson and Kelly Thompson, 1:28.75.
The Nighthawks edged Cloquet 49-46 on Saturday for their second win of the season. NER/Ely swimmers won five events, including: 200 individual medley, Lily Tedrick, 2:38.47, 50 freestyle, Kelly Thompson, 28.90, 100 butterfly, Lily Tedrick, 1:12.97, 100 freestyle Kelly Thompson, 1:04.78, and the 400 relay, Lily Tedrick, Morgan McClelland, Cedar Ohlhauser and Kelly Thompson, 4:16.15.
