Felipe Barreto finished fourth in the 500-yard freestyle Friday during the opening round of preliminaries for the Fusion. We are waiting on results of the other races and will post them as they become available.

Barreto will advance to Saturday's finals.

Here's video from the meet:



Macy Weller had 17 points and the Mainstreeters shot well from three-point range Thursday to beat Melrose 71-47 in the Sub-Section 6AA North playoff opener. Weller added six rebounds and six steals.

Sauk built a stead half-time lead thanks to a potent three-point shooting attack. Ali Peterson, Weller, Jena Klaphake and Liz Ellens all made three-pointers within a four-minute span.

Brianna Von Wahlde turned in a solid performance with 13 points. Ellens finished with 11. Klaphake led the team with 5 assists.

The Streeters will face Osakis (22-3) on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. at St. John's University. The Silverstreaks beat Long Prairie-Grey Eagle 65-41 Thursday. Osakis defeated the Streeters (24-2) earlier this season 49-40. Also advancing in Sub-Section 6AA North was top-seeded Staples-Motley (20-5) who defeated Holdingford 83-50 Thursday. They will face Albany (24-3) at 2 p.m. Saturday at St. John's University. Albany beat Pierz 74-45 Thursday.

The top four seeds are a combined 90-13 heading into Saturday's play --- which means two very good teams will be going home.
