RHINELANDER — The Marshfield boys swimming team finished seventh out of eight teams at the Hodag Relay Meet on Saturday at Rhinelander High School.
The Tigers finished with 66 points, just 16 points out of third place in a tightly contested meet. A disqualification in one race cost Marshfield enough points to drop from fourth to seventh in the team standings.
Green Bay won seven of the 10 races to take the team title.
The Tigers’ top finish came from the 500 decrescendo relay team of Anthony Hartwig, Zach Hanson, Eric Tollefson, and Alec Brenner, which finished second in 5:21.57.
Marshfield also got a third-place finish from the 400 freestyle relay team of Tollefson, Ben Donahue, Hanson, and Scott Thompson (3:55.30).
Marshfield hosts Wausau East in a Wisconsin Valley Conference dual Thursday.
