State swimming & Diving: Ostlie leads Jays with record-breaking day
Jamestown’s Big 3 had their eyes set on returning home with a few state titles, but those hopes are going to have to wait another year. Willie Marler, Landon Ostlie and Chasen Miller each swam in two individual events and a couple relay events Saturday in the state swimming meet in Mandan, but the strong field of swimmers got the best of the Blue Jays. Ostlie nearly claimed the 200 individual medley title, but was edged out by Fargo North’s Obi Obembe by .45 seconds. Ostlie, however, broke the school record with a time of 2:01.69.March 08, 2010
