It was a busy MSHSL Tournament. Congratulations to the winners (below) as well as to everyone who worked to make this event a great show. It has been a pleasure to watch many of you who were sophomores when this site started and will be 2019 Graduates.
The highlight of the two days was the honoring of one of the matriarchs of Minnesota Dance, Wayzata’s coach Leslie Swiggum who is retiring after 44 years of coaching. She did so in storybook fashion with her team winning the Class AAA High Kick and Jazz state titles.

Wayzata coach Leslie Swiggum congratulates her team on winning the second state title of the week after being announced as high kick champions.
Here are some photos taken by our good friend Hal Tearse. Matt was taking photos for the Star Tribune so stay tuned for some of his photos later. In the meantime, see his galleries on the Star Tribune website – links below Hal’s gallery.
