DES MOINES — The Newton swim team has been looking for some tougher competition as its season begans to wind down, and it certainly found some Tuesday night.

Although they fell 115-55 to Des Moines Roosevelt, the Cardinals won multiple events and recorded a few season-best times, while changing up some of the race lineups in the process.

“I thought we did well. We knew Roosevelt is a good team and we mixed up the lineups a little bit tonight just to kind of give the kids a break,” Newton coach Dave Hook said. “I was pleased with the times and their efforts were good, so that’s all I can ask for.”
