Making a second trip to Fort Dodge in less than a month, the Newton swim team made the trek worthwhile on Saturday.

The Cardinals finished fourth in a seven-team field at the Rauty Garst Invitational, setting multiple individual and team season-best times in the process.

“We were one of the top four teams fighting for the title. We just had a really good meet with lots of personal bests,” Newton coach Dave Hook said. “We used this as a test for how we’ll do against some of the tougher teams in the state, and we did really good.”
